Monster Hurricane Irma Looms in the Atlantic

While Texas is still mopping up after Hurricane Harvey, another powerful storm is headed to the U.S. coast and could make direct landfall on Friday. Hurricane Irma was upped to a Category 5 on Tuesday morning, with winds clocking in at 175 miles-per-hour.

And size-wise, this storm is a true monster. It's currently larger than the state of Ohio.

Florida Governor Rick Scott has already declared a state of emergency. Even if it's not a direct hit, heavy rain and flooding are possible for those areas.
