Florida’s airports have succumbed to the wrath of Hurricane Irma. Miami International Airport (MIA) will be closed Monday after sustaining “significant water damage” as the storm hit Florida on Sunday, according to the Miami Herald. While flights had been grounded since Saturday, in advance of the hurricane, the terminal had remained opened for over 600 guests and another 40 stranded passengers who could not find lodging. Nearby Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, which also closed ahead of Irma, will also keep its doors shut Monday as it assesses damage and makes any necessary repairs. American Airlines began shutting down operations in Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Fort Myers, Sarasota and West Palm Beach by Friday afternoon and cancelled flights through the weekend.
