A Transformer Has Exploded In Naples
Hurricane Irma is leaving a trail of destruction as it produces heavy rain and strong winds across the state.
According to the Washington Post, 2 million people are currently without power.
CBS News is reporting two tower cranes fell onto nearby buildings under construction in Miami, and several trees blocked roadways as well.
As Irma approaches other parts of Florida, tornadoes and flooding remain a major concern.
The National Hurricane Center says Irma has been downgraded to a Category 3 Hurricane with max winds hovering around 120 mph.
In Naples, footage was captured of a transformer explosion during strong winds and torrential rain.
