Hurricane Irma is now quickly approaching the United States of America.
The main target? Florida.
This intense storm is expected to hit at high winds of about 140 mph, making it a category 4 hurricane.
Previously, Hurricane Irma started as a category 5 and swept the Caribbean Islands. Below are some pictures on the Island of St. Thomas:
People are scrambling on the roads trying to salvage what they have left. 90% of an island named Barbuda is demolished. Trees are being ripped from the ground, roofs torn off houses, and now ANOTHER hurricane is on its way!
Recent news has it that Hurricane Jose is now strengthened to a category 3.
The people who are facing immediate evacuations are bracing themselves, hoping their property does not get destroyed. Most of Florida and now Georgia is under mandatory evacuation. The expected rainfall is anywhere between 8-20 inches of rain.

To those who are going to be impacted by the storm: BE SAFE. Be prepared. Hope for the best.
