It is a case of better to be safe than sorry for the citizens who live in the state of Florida as Governor Rick Scott has issued a State Of Emergency in all 67 counties of the Sunshine State.
Hurricane Irma is now a Category 4 storm that could either miss the state of Florida and move to the north toward the Atlantic Ocean by Friday.
Prayers are that the storm gets picked up away from the United States after it could strike Puerto Rico on Wednesday.
The exact track of the hurricane is not clear at this time but if Irma stays in a western movement, the lower part of Florida could take the hardest hit from the Category 4 Hurricane this week.
Keep your fingers crossed and hope that Hurricane Irma either weakens or moves away from the United States east coast since the government agency are working in southeast Texas to assist the victims of Hurricane Harvey.

Oh dear George..I had not heard that they have declared a state of emergency.
I pray this does not hit FL or anywhere but I know it is aiming for a lot of islands.

The reports are already saying Irma is very big and very mean when it makes landfall soon.
