This is from ABC news (video in the link),

Hurricane Irma is edging closer and closer to Florida as millions of residents -- more than 200,000 of whom are without power -- brace for the impact of the most powerful Atlantic storm in a decade.

The National Weather Service measured a 74-mph gust in the Florida Keys on Saturday night, marking the beginning of hurricane-force winds that forecasters say will steadily intensify in the coming hours. A tornado watch is in effect across the area, and two such twisters have already been reported.

As of 12 a.m. Sunday, Irma's center was about 80 miles southeast of Key West with sustained winds of 120 mph. It was moving northwest at 6mph, and is expected to turn north and head up the western coast of Florida, making landfall on Sunday.

"Only minimal strengthening of Irma is being forecast before it hits the Florida Keys and the west coast of Florida on Sunday," ABC meteorologist Daniel Peck said. "But while winds have been adjusted a bit lower, they are still at powerful and dangerous levels. Life-threatening and significant storm surge is still a huge concern along with very heavy rain and flash flooding."

The worst and most extreme winds from Irma will begin to impact the Florida Keys shortly after midnight, with the center of Irma expected to pass over the Keys between 6 a.m. and 9 a.m. ET, Peck said.
