As the Florida peninsula is battered with high winds and rain from Hurricane Irma, first responders are gearing up for the aftermath. At the Orange County Convention Center, thousands of vehicles and pieces of equipment including heavy machinery and aircraft will help first responders with relief efforts. Kalloo Sanes’ unit has previously performed rescue operations during Hurricane Harvey and Hurricane Katrina. Several residents expressed concern about the storm but remained optimistic and positive as they wait for Hurricane Irma to pass. “Our wedding has been interrupted by Hurricane Irma so it just kind of happened,” Durham said.
