September 10 – Hurricane Irma made landfall on Cudjoe Key as a Category 4 hurricane with sustained winds of 130 mph (210 km/h), followed hours later by a second landfall on Marco Island with winds of 115 mph (185 km/h). The hurricane caused or contributed to at least 87 deaths in the state, with possibly over 400 deaths related to the storm.
Increasing wind shear and land interaction caused the satellite appearance of the storm to become ragged later that day, and Irma weakened to Category 3 intensity before making its seventh and final landfall at 19:30 UTC in Marco Island, Florida, with winds of 115 mph (185 km/h) and a central pressure of 936 mbar (27.6 inHg).
