Just hours after Hurricane Irma strengthened Friday night to a Category 5 storm as it made landfall on Cuba, the monster storm went back to a Category 4 storm around 5 a.m. Saturday, the National Hurricane Center announced. Its maximum sustained winds decreased to 150 mph, but the storm remains strong as it moves closer to South Florida at a speed of 13 mph. As of 5 a.m., it was 245 miles southeast of Miami. Just three hours earlier, it was 275 miles south-southeast of the city.

The storm's track has shifted slightly to the west, creating a "very, very dangerous situation for western Florida," says ABC News meteorologist Daniel Manzo. Major hurricane conditions will slam communities on Florida's west coast, including Naples and Fort Myers, he added. Landfall may also occur as far north as Tampa as a strong Category 3 hurricane.

South Florida is already experiencing power outages, according to the Florida Power & Light Company. As of 3 a.m. Saturday, in Miami-Dade County there were 9,613 outages affecting 1,124,252 customers. In Broward County, which includes Fort Lauderdale, there were 456 outages affecting 939,339 customers.

Also ahead of its arrival, The Associated Press reported late Friday night that many ATM machines across southwest Florida were out of cash as people stocked up in case Hurricane Irma power outages make credit card transactions impossible.

In Miami-Dade County, 26,011 homes and businesses were without power before 8 a.m. Saturday.

Just spoke with friends who left Tampa Bay area this morning. They said roads are clear and they are trucking along at 80 miles an hour and are already above Gainesville (shhh, don't call the sheriffs on them) They said stopped every hour for dogs, and no problems with gas as the state has ensured filling stations along 75 north are good (a few closed, most open and no line today)

They were pleasantly shocked that roads are totally clear today, and that perhaps reports from the last few days scared others off.

Wow, some expensive boats tied up to the dock in Key West. The pier and boats will be gone, just the pilings will remain. I hope the owners know that.

Chicken evacuation in Key West, Fla. Better to be 'bound and taped' than to be gone with the wind !chicken evacuation.PNG

Feeling calmer there is no way the water between cuba and FL can not be getting colder - its been tossed up for hours and hours -- that is what they thrive on

how could it be different??

going over cuba was not at all in it earlier also helps a ton!!
