Hurricane Irma The United States has really been affected by mother nature recently, especially with Hurricane Harvey that happened in Houston, Texas. Another hurricane has started to form out in the Atlantic Ocean and it was named Irma. Hurricane Irma changed categories pretty quickly. Hopefully this hurricane does not touch land within the next couple of days. Florida has experienced quite a few hurricanes.

The first hurricane named Irma occurred on October 2, 1978, and it also formed in the Atlantic Ocean. Luckily that hurricane never touched down on the United States’ coast or caused any damage. If this recent version of hurricane Irma continues to stay at its category three pace, it will be at least a week before it actually touches land. We have time to prepare for the worst, but hopefully it will die down before it causes any damage. The forecast shows the different directions the hurricane could go in, but the weather is expected to be in bad conditions for the next couple of days. Florida has had a couple major hurricanes within the past couple of years. Irma happens to be the fourth hurricane of the season as it has recently been located 3,000 miles southeast of Miami. Two category three hurricanes that happened in Florida were Jeanne in 2004 and Katrina in 2005. There were two category four hurricanes that happened in Florida also, Frances in 2004 and Charley in 2004.
To conclude, there is a hurricane out in the Atlantic Ocean that we have to keep an eye out on, especially with everything that happened in Houston, Texas. It has been named Irma and is a category 3 hurricane. Hopefully, it will die down and not touch land or harm anybody. Florida has had experiences with hurricanes
