Strong Winds Sweep US Virgin Islands

The US Virgin Islands prepared for extreme weather on Wednesday, September 6, as the eye of Hurricane Irma closed in on the popular tourist destination.

The National Hurricane Center warned the center of the Category 5 storm was approaching the Virgin Islands Wednesday morning.

A hurricane warning was also issued for the north coast of Haiti, from the northern border with the Dominican Republic to Le Mole St Nicholas. Credit: Jatasey Gibbs via Storyful
