The latest update reflects the 10 a.m. Sunday National Hurricane Center advisory and current conditions in the Keys and South Florida.)</em></p> <p>Large and extremely powerful Hurricane Irma is battering Florida, having slammed into the Keys with wind gusts well over 100 mph. The storm, which strengthened to a Category 4  early Sunday, is likely to rank among the worst hurricanes in the state’s history.</p> <p>The vicious storm is next set to hit Florida’s west coast hardest, with a combination of destructive winds and a devastating storm surge. Winds in excess of 100 mph could batter numerous population centers along Florida’s west coast, including Naples and Fort Myers and up the coast to Tampa. And coastal waters could rise 10 to 15 feet above normally dry land, completely inundating homes, businesses, and roads.</p> <p>“The Keys through Tampa will likely experience the worst storm surge event that area has seen in generations,” said Bill Read, a former director of the National Hurricane Center.</p> <p>At 10 a.m. Sunday, the eye of Irma was starting to pull away from the Florida Keys, centered 25 miles northeast of Key West. The storm, packing peak winds of 130 mph, was crawling to the north-northwest at 8 mph.  It was predicted to move up the west coast of Florida through the day Sunday and into Sunday night.</p> <p>The storm officially made landfall at Cudjoe Key at 9:10 a.m. and, following Hurricane Harvey’s assault in Texas, marked <a href="https://twitter.com/philklotzbach/status/906873222070624256">the first time on record</a> two Category 4 storms had made landfall in the U.S. in the same year.</p> <p>Winds over the Keys raged Sunday morning, gusting over 90 mph in Key West and up to 120 mph in Big Pine Key. An extreme wind warning was issued for the Lower Keys, including Key West, through 9:15 a.m., for “extremely dangerous and life-threatening” wind gusts.</p> <p><a href="https://twitter.com/MikeTheiss/status/906848170050818048">Eyewitness video</a> showed the rising storm surge flooding Key West streets:</p> <div class="inline-content inline-html"> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500"> <p dir="ltr" lang="en">Surge coming up ! <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/KeyWest?src=hash">#KeyWest</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/irma?src=hash">#irma</a> <a href="https://t.co/iQBGH7yrif">pic.twitter.com/iQBGH7yrif</a></p> <p>— Mike Theiss (@MikeTheiss) <a href="https://twitter.com/MikeTheiss/status/906840530532929537">September 10, 2017</a></p></blockquote> <p><script async="" charset="utf-8" src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js"></script></p> </div> <div class="flex-embed-dummy-script"><script charset="utf-8"></script></div> <p>Spiral bands were also unleashing tropical-storm-force winds in southeast Florida.
