Closing a house after hurricane

[Ruby Escalona]

Hello - As you guys all know there is Hurricane Matthew and it's going to at least affect us in Jax in some other way. 

We were supposed to close a house by Friday, 10/7, but we had to move it next week because of the storm. 

Question is - what happens if there is significant damage to the house before we do close? Our agent said we'll have to do a walk through, but could we submit a request to have the seller fix all the damages before we close the deal? 

Appreciate your help!
