Went from a Cat 1 to Cat 5 in only 20 hours, with it taking only 2 hours to go from a 4 to a 5, breaking Patricia's record. Hitting a lot of familiar areas in the Caribbean. Doesn't pose a threat to the USA at this time but this could change.
The following is a tweet from the Prime Minister of Dominica:
Many of the islands hit by Irma and Jose are at 80-90% of structures damaged. They are in very weakened states and more hurricanes like this will just make things worse.
Currently expected to make a direct hit with eastern Puerto Rico. Keep in mind, these people had almost no time to prepare for a Cat 5 hurricane. No one predicted this level of strengthening.
