 - The article talks about how a week after Hurricane Irma residents in Jacksonville still haven't had power restored to their homes. Hurricanes as we know, are a huge blow to the economy and our economic resources whether its the real-estate business or shortage of basic goods.

 - The problem here is expands to everything from flooding to wind and rain destruction. Jacksonville had flood problems that were way more serious than anticipated and is still recovering deeply from this. Even the more expected natural forces like wind and heavy rainfall destroyed peoples homes and power lines leaving citizens homeless and powerless. The real estate economy will be suffer from this as well as resources like gas and water which have risen substantially because of the storm.

- The people of Jacksonville are the ones who affected most by this as some residents still don't have power. For all residents, the price of just about everything has risen and is causing problems for them.

Residents who were evacuated were given the "ok" to return to their homes down in the keys after the mandatory evacuation only for 10 percent of the residents to realize their homes had been completely destroyed.
   
-The problem here is that Hurricane Irma was so powerful that it destroyed many homes leaving a lot or residents homeless. Even residents whose home was still standing are waiting for resources like water and power to be restored.
 
-The problem manly effects the residents of the keys but also effects their relatives because this is such an awful tragedy that left me friends and relatives of the residents in grief.

5.)Haitians are going to lose the fight for TPS, and that's OK
      -http://infoweb.newsbank.com.lp.hscl.ufl.edu/resources/doc/nb/news/166EF5A6478C2CB8?p=WORLDNEWS
       -The end of the temporary protection status for Haitian immigrants is coming to a conclusion in January. This marks the 7 year mark since the deviating earth quake occurred in Haiti and immigrants are trying to appeal the end of their extension.
       -Haitian immigrants are battling congress trying to stay in the U.S but will unfortunately probably lose but right fully so. Its been 7 years since the earthquake in Haiti and things are starting to get better allowing the immigrant to come back. The country of Haiti is planning on welcoming back a cadre of Haitian medical professionals, teachers, engineers, accountants, etc. A program to integrate them into the public and private sectors that offered equitable salaries would allow returnees to contribute to Haiti's long-term development. Also, we must acknowledge that extending TPS makes no sense politically when Haiti isn't overwhelmed by a humanitarian crisis, and instead hold the Haitian government to higher standards. Although Hurricane Matthew wreaked havoc on the south of Haiti, Irma skirted its northern coast. Most of the country is safe, stable, and hungry for sustainable economic and social investment.
      -The people of Haiti are the ones who are affected by this.
