Hurricane Irma, a Monstrous Category 5 Storm, Headed for Florida [VIDEOS]
This has certainly been a hurricane season we'll want to forget. On the heels of catastrophic and deadly flooding from Hurricane Harvey comes Irma, packing Category 5 winds in excess of 180 MPH. It's considered the most powerful Atlantic hurricane we've ever seen.
Mandatory evacuations have begun in the Florida Keys. In fact, Irma seems to have its sights set on the Sunshine State.
