• Hurricane Irma

    From CNN Breaking News@VERT to no-reply@siteservices.cnn.com on Sun Sep 10 00:18:57 2017
    Time is running out to evacuate and prepare for HurricaneÿIrma[1], officials warned as violent winds and rains from the Category 3 storm began pounding the southern tip of Florida.

    The first hurricane-force wind gust of 74 mph was recorded in Key West, the National Weather Service says.

    Irma's powerful winds and outer rain bands lashed the Florida Keys as the massive storm slowly began turning from Cuba's northern coast up into the Florida Strait, the National Hurricane Center says.

    With maximum sustained winds of 120 mph, Irma is expected to strengthen once it moves away from Cuba, with the possibility of hitting the US mainland as a Category 4.

    Irma's eye is expected to be near the Florida Keys Sunday morning before driving up the state's southwestern coast in the afternoon, according to the hurricane center.
