SUNRISE (CBSMiami) — The road into the lower Florida Keys is reopen and on that road Tuesday is a caravan of relief supplies collected by the Florida Panthers at the BB&T Center in Sunrise.
There were 80 pallets worth of supplies which included thousands of items collected in donations from the community for a survival sendoff, all of it headed for the storm ravaged Keys.
“That’s almost 30,000 pounds of water, clothes, toilet paper, paper towels, flashlights, batteries you name it,” said Matthew Caldwell, Team President for the Florida Panthers.
Anitere Flores is a State Senator who represents parts of Monroe County and she’s been traveling back and forth and described the devastation in the lower Keys.
