Hurricane Irma, one of the strongest storms to ever form in the Atlantic, is continuing to tear through the Caribbean, having already devastated several islands, including Barbuda, St. Martin, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico and killing at least 14 people. Under the current forecast, the core of the storm, which has maintained its intensity with winds above 180 mph, is expected to hit Florida and the Southeast U.S. this weekend.
Meanwhile, the United Nations estimates that up to 37 million people across different countries, states, and territories could be affected.
The other two active hurricanes in the Atlantic: Hurricane Jose strengthened into a Category 3 storm Thursday with maximum sustained winds at about 120 mph, and is heading toward the same islands already hit by Irma.
Antigua and Barbuda issued a hurricane watch Thursday afternoon. They expect Jose to make landing Saturday.
Islands already hit by Irma: Anguilla, Antigua, Barbuda, Saint Martin, St Barts, British Virgin Islands, U.S. Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, Haiti, the Dominican Republic, Turks and Caicos.
Anyone know if the island pigs are ok
