UPDATE: September 03 – Named Storm Irma – 2017

Named Storm Irma has strengthened to a Category 3  Hurricane. It is currently 900 miles east of the Leeward Islands  and is moving generally westerly.  As this storm gets closer to the Lesser Antilles, it will start to be over very warm water and will intensify even more.  Tracking models are still inaccurate for 5 days out, however we are requesting that all persons who live along the Gulf Coast and US Atlantic  Coast from southern Florida to New England CAREFULLY monitor the progress of this dangerous hurricane and prepare. We will post additional unofficial information as it becomes available.
