Florida’s two U.S. senators — Republican Marco Rubio and Democrat Bill Nelson — want Congress to add money for Hurricane Irma to a $7.9 billion disaster relief bill for Hurricane Harvey that passed the House today.

"Hurricane Irma is now one of the most powerful hurricanes ever recorded in the Atlantic Ocean and is currently on track to make landfall in South Florida as early as Sunday," say Rubio and Nelson in a letter to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., and Minority Leader Charles Schumer, D-N.Y.

"This massive category-5 storm has the potential to cause catastrophic destruction throughout the state and we are deeply concerned that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) will not have the resources it needs to respond if Congress doesn’t act soon."

FEMA is expected to run out of money on Friday, Rubio and Nelson write, but Floridians "need to know that the federal government is both ready and willing to direct the necessary resources needed to help them in the recovery process. As such, we strongly urge you to include additional funding in the Hurricane Harvey aid package to account for the additional costs FEMA will likely incur responding to Hurricane Irma."
