Yes, if you live in the City of Miami, you have a curfew because of Hurricane Irma.
The city posted on its Irma updates page: “Curfew now in place for City of Miami TONIGHT (Sept. 9) from 7pm to 7am. For your safety stay inside your homes or shelters.” It’s not clear how long the curfew will be in place because no one knows for sure what the storm will do.

Miami was under a hurricane warning and storm surge warning on September 9 as people anxiously waited for the hurricane to make landfall. After the Florida Keys, it was expected that the hurricane would then land in southwestern Florida. Previously, it was projected that the hurricane would directly hit Miami. All the same, severe effects from Irma are expected to be felt in Miami.
