Anticipating Irma

WAMU 88.5

Published September 7, 2017 at 10:06 AM EDT

Winds blow in Marigot, St. Martin, ahead of the arrival of Hurricane Irma.

With winds in excess of 180 miles per hour, Hurricane Irma is one of the strongest Atlantic storms ever recorded.

Evacuations have begun in Florida as Irma hits eastern Caribbean islands and Puerto Rico.

This comes as Congress is debating sending billions to the Gulf Coast for Harvey relief. Now, the nation is bracing for another storm and its aftermath.
