Incredible videos tell the story of Hurricane Irma's impact on Jacksonville and the surrounding area.

Storm surge between 3 to 5 feet and heavy rainfall caused major flooding.

Wind gusts up to 70 miles per hour ripped off roofs and walls of buildings.

Several homes collapsed at area beaches after the swelling ocean compromised their structures.
