As of Wednesday morning, the super storm had already hit Barbuda and continues roaring towards the U.S. and British Virgin Islands, as well as Puerto Rico — all of which are under hurricane advisories, according to the NHC. Experts predicted Irma was likely to hit the Dominican Republic Thursday, then the Turks and Caicos Islands as well as the Bahamas on Friday. They place the storm in Cuba on Saturday and Sunday and expect it will make its way to Florida early Sunday.
