Hurricane Irma: Where is the Category 4 storm now and where is it headed next?

The National Hurricane Center downgraded Hurricane Irma to a Category 4 storm Friday, but it is still extremely powerful and a hurricane watch was also issued for a swath of Florida as Irma continued its devastating march across the Caribbean, blasting 155 mph winds and leaving a trail of destruction in its wake.
Most of south Florida is under a hurricane watch that includes the Florida Keys and Lake Okeechobee.
The storm has already been blamed for at least 11 deaths in the Caribbean. Governors of four Southeast states declared states of emergency. Mandatory evacuations took place in the Florida Keys and are underway in the Miami area.
