MONROE COUNTY, Fla. – A week after Hurricane Irma, there are areas in Monroe County where there was still a broiling humanitarian crisis. Without air conditioner or fresh water, a pair of grandparents emerged from under a pile of rubble at Stock Island.

It was what was left of their mobile home at the Island Life Village. Their neighbors were worried about them. Jerry Malone wasn't wearing a T-shirt, and had some sunburns. Joy Miller was covered in bandages, because she took a beating from the sun. 

"The owners of the park haven't been around," Malone said. 

Authorities reopened the Florida Keys to all evacuees Sunday. Monroe County Sheriff's Office deputies wanted residents who were planning on making their way back later in the day to remember the Florida City checkpoint closes at 8 p.m. and will reopen again Monday at 7:30 a.m. 

The National Guard and state and local authorities were still enforcing two curfews in Monroe County. From the Upper Keys to Marathon, authorities want everyone to seek shelter from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. The curfew after mile marker 47 in the Lower Keys and Key West is from sunset to sunrise.

"The Keys are not what you left several days ago when you evacuated. Electricity, sewer and water are intermittent at best," Monroe County Mayor George Neugent said Saturday afternoon.

The allure of easier living was over for the influx of "Conch" natives to the Lower Keys. The hot sun was burning and there weren't trees to provide shade. Utilities haven't been completely restored. There is a boil order in effect without electricity. The putrid stench of seaweed is unavoidable in some areas. 

Downed trees and power lines were still blocking some roads and were making it dangerous for residents of the Lower Keys to clean up. 

Irma was also delivering a heavy economic blow, and authorities were expecting some population loss. 

Many lower-income workers who are dependent on the tourism industry were running out of money. Tourists were still not welcome.

Residents in the Upper Keys and Key West who didn't suffer as much damage were getting back to their routines.
