- Irma is 9th named storm of year
As of 11 p.m. Irma is moving west at 12 miles per hour, with wind speeds of about 65 miles per hour.
Irma won’t be near any land for the next 5 to 6 days.
Beyond that is when it will need to be watched carefully as fluctuations in its track will ultimately determine whether or not it has any impact on the U.S.
