Monster storm Hurricane Irma continues on its path towards Florida and is expected to make landfall by Sunday with potentially catastrophic results, prompting warnings from officials the storm could be worse than Hurricane Andrew. Hurricane Irma weakened to a Category 4 storm early Friday packing winds speeds of about 240 km/h, remaining a very powerful and dangerous storm. On Thursday, Florida officials began ordering evacuations from southern cities while Irma was a Category 5 storm and prompted a strong warning from state governor Rick Scott. Late Thursday, meteorologist Eric Holthaus shared side-by-side photo comparisons of Hurricane Andrew, that last Category 5 storm to hit Florida, and Hurricane Irma, currently barreling towards the state.
