here's the thing to note about irma, okay?a lot of supplies were moved from puerto rico to the u.s. virgin islands to help them after they were impacted by irma. little to be known that a little while later, those supplies would have been needed in puerto rico. so, all the cots, the supplies of water, tents, things like that, that were already in place in puerto rico, were moved out during irma and transitioned into the u.s. virgin islands. so, now you have maria, which wind speeds of 150 miles per hour, again a category 4 at landfall, and most importantly, cost of $90 billion, guys. that means this was the third costliest storm in history. so, victor and christi, the thing you have to understand is, this was one storm after another after another with not much time in between, but also that two out of those three storms ended up being in the top three costliest storms in history. >> and still early in this season. allison chinchara, thank you so much. >> thanks. >>> the indictment charges 12 russian military officers by name f

irma, as mentioned, hurricanes harvey, irma, maria devastated the nation at a time when fema was already supporting dozens of openly federally declared disasters across our country. during the response to three catastrophic hurricanes fema responded to four wildfires in california, an estimated 47 million americans were affected by last year's hurricanes and wildfires, approximately 15% of the entire u.s. population. following the 2017 hurricanes we have reviewed preparations for the immediate response and initial recovery operations with the goal of identifying lessons learned with lessons learned which collectively benefit future emergency management operations at all levels, both local, state, federal, nonprofit and the private sector. last week we released our 2017 hurricane season after action report. the report examines the agency's performance during the record breaking season and captures transformative insights that will help fema, the emergency management community and the nation chart a path into the future. the report identified key findings across five areas and offered targ

last year, we saw ten hurricanes in the atlanta region alone, including hurricanes harvey, irma, and maria, which devastated parts of texas, florida, puerto rico, and the u.s. virgin islands. we also had one of the worst wildfire seasons on record with over 66,000 wildfires that burned nearly 10 million acres of land. disasters caused an estimated $370 billion in damages in 2017. the purpose of today's hearing is to determine where we are in recovering from these devastating disasters including challenges to recovery and suggestions on how we can overcome those challenges. we also want to understand state, local, and federal efforts to prepare for and respond to the 2018 hurricane season, which began on june 1st. additional additionally, we will discuss reforms that are needed to incentivize and encourage mitigation and the reduction of disaster costs and losses across the country. the 2017 disaster season not only devastated many communities but also highlighted challenges in how he respond to and recover from disasters. we have a ways to go in rebuilding, especially in puerto rico

already saw large amounts of water and rain -- rainwaters, among other causes, of course, was hurricane irma which caused lake okeechobee to rise to record high levels. and again this year, florida's experienced large amounts of rain, and this rainfall carries nutrients into the lake from upstream. so the lake is in the center part of the state. just north of it is areas kissimmee, orlando, and population, and people move in and they fertilize their lawns and all kinds of nutrients that gets into the groundwater, it rains and it flows into lake okeechobee. the more it rains, the more of that flows. the water level of the lake gets higher but the nutrient flow into the lake also gets higher. as you can see from these time-lapse images, when that nutrient-rich water flows in on top of the nutrient-rich water that's already there an heat comes into play, the result is algae bloom. that's where it was on june 12. this is where it was on june 20. all that red representing algae. june 21. and now june 24. if you looked at an image of this today, almost the entire lake is covered by thick, toxic al
