MIAMI (CBSMiami) – The effects of Hurricane Irma may likely be felt also in your daily cup of orange juice.

You might be asking yourself soon if you're willing to pay $8 for a gallon of it.

It's because of Hurricane Irma wiped out as much as 70 percent of Florida's citrus crop.

Prices could soar as much as $2.30 a gallon, though it will take a few weeks to know the exact number.

But there might be some relief that could come from Brazil.

That's only if it boosts its citrus exports to the U.S.
