• Irma is most powerful Atlantic hurricane in recorded history
• Barbuda is first to be hit as storm points to Puerto Rico
• Category five hurricane has winds of up to 185mph
• Officials warn 'may God protect us all' from 'onslaught'
• Emergency declared as storm could hit Florida at weekend

Late Tuesday, the massive Category 5 storm was almost upon islands like Antigua and Barbuda with near-record 185 mph sustained winds. In its 11 p.m. ET advisory, the US National Hurricane Centre said the eye of the hurricane was 50 miles from the two islands.

The centre of the storm was moving to the west-northwest at 15 mph.
The hurricane centre said the extremely dangerous core of Irma would hit the northern Leeward Islands -- which include Antigua and Barbuda, St. Kitts and Nevis, and Anguilla -- Tuesday night or Wednesday morning.

Here we see a young Cherie being taught how to talk "propa" in order that she secured her first secretarial job at the Abattoir in Kinsale.

The latest is it's made landfall in Cuba as a cat 5 160mph storm. Depending on how much land interaction between it hitting Cuba and going back out to sea towards Florida happens will decide how strongly it'll hit the US. Still, considering this storm managed to maintain winds of 185mph for three days, I would not be in the slightest bit surprised if it rebuilds itself and hits Florida as a cat 5. Unbelievable storm. Reminds me of Haiyan in a lot of ways.

Meanwhile Jose is pretty much a Cat 5 now too. Winds of 155mph and Cat 5 starts at 157mph. Looking very likely it's going to hit some of the islands that were flattened by Irma before it curves out to sea and towards Bermuda. Those poor poor people.

It's all true, we are also partaking in naruto running into the hurricane, telling the hurricane it can't sit with us and pointing all of our fans at the hurricane so it blows the other way
