Hurricane Irma

BBC News website now reporting  "The four "most solid" buildings on the island of Saint Martin have been destroyed, French Interior Minister Gérard Collomb announced."

That doesn't sound good at all!

I think that's wrong. She's got her measurements confused. Thankfully!

Edit: Some people are saying that they've seen people snapchatting on the global map, so there is life

It's difficult to make out, but it looks as though a seriously strong gust knocked the camera out at the end...

It's not much different to the previous run. There would appear to a move in some quarters for the turn north coming a tad earlier.

How's it compare to other models? Are they all edging that way do we know?

Florida may get a lucky escape like it happened last year. Early days though.

Vast majority keep Irma's centre mostly to the east of Florida (may get pretty close to SE Florida) and then potentially make a landfall along the NC/SC coast - but a lot of chopping and changing to go...

It will still get the storm surge.

Latest Advisory from NHC gives storm surge at around 20ft above tide level for Turks and Caicos, However seabead shelving plays a big part in storm surge but doubt 40ft
