Hurricane Irma has just been upgraded to a Category 5 storm. States of emergency have been declared in Florida, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands as she churns west over the northeastern Caribbean.
Hurricane Irma strengthened to a Category 5 storm Tuesday morning as it continues approaching the northeast Caribbean and the U.S.
Officials across the northeastern Caribbean cancelled airline flights, shuttered schools and urged people to hunker down indoors as barrelled toward the region as the Category 5 storm is expected to strengthen more before nearing land late Tuesday.
