Kids play at a shelter in a local church on the evening before the arrival of Hurricane Irma in Las Terrenas, Dominican Republic, Wednesday, September 6, 2017. Dominicans waited for the arrival of Hurricane Irma after it lashed Puerto Rico with heavy rain and powerful winds, leaving nearly 900,000 people without power as authorities struggled to get aid to small Caribbean islands already devastated by the historic storm.
