Hurricane Irma’s track trending eastward, but winds still at 185 mph

FORT MYERS, Fla. Here is everything you need to know on Hurricane Irma as the storm develops:

11:00 p.m.

Hurricane Irma maintained intense winds of 185 mph winds as of the 11 p.m. advisory from the National Hurricane Center.

The storm was about 85 miles north-northwest of San Juan, Puerto Rico moving west-northwest at 16 mph.

This is the latest cone from the National Hurricane Center:

9:51 p.m.

Clewiston is among the areas most at risk for impact from Hurricane Irma according to the latest forecast track.

“We don’t know how this is going to be.” Clewiston City Manager Al Perry said. “It appears to be a bad storm. We just pray it goes around us.”

Some living near Lake Okeechobee are concerned whether the Herbert Hoover Dike, which surrounds the lake, will hold up as the hurricane passes.

But lake water levels are lower than they were before Hurricane Wilma in 2005, Perry said.

Perry is confident new construction projects underway will serve to strengthen the dike and help it withstand a hit from Irma.
