Police in many communities are urging drivers to stay off the roads until crews can assess damage and remove debris.
The concern is downed trees as well as power lines. Traffic lights might also be out.
Many roads are NOT passable. Please stay in your homes so City and safety crews can be in the roadways to begin damage assessments. pic.twitter.com/T1SsADwWc6

Dozens of coconuts in roadway on Gateway Blvd west of Lawrence Rd. Hard to see until you get close. Big safety hazard. Stay off road. #Irma
