Good morning. It's Monday, Oct. 16. Hurricane Irma came and went weeks ago, yet the storm debris has remained for many Central Florida communities. It has caused frustration, but relief may be near.

Elsewhere, area donations for Hurricane Maria-ravaged Puerto Rico are expected to head to the U.S. territory this week.

And finally, the Orlando Magic will open their season Wednesday night against the Miami Heat at Amway Center. Watch our season preview here.
