Irma is the strongest storm of 2017. Here’s what could be in the hurricane’s path; 185mph

The storm is big, fast and speeding westward toward Puerto Rico and Florida

While it is too early know where — or if — Irma will make landfall in the mainland United States, the storm’s predicted track takes it across Puerto Rico on Wednesday. If it continues on that path, it could reach Florida this weekend.

Irma’s maximum sustained winds were measured at 185 mph on Tuesday. Only one Atlantic storm in recorded history has exceeded that level: Hurricane Allen, which slammed into Mexico and Texas in 1980, had top wind speeds of 190 mph.
