Hurricanes010 Archivestropical storms move fast -- with Category 5 Hurricane Irma, that's 185-mph-winds fast. The country is still reeling from the devastation of Hurricane Harvey on the Gulf Coast, but hurricane season has already moved onto the next storm.
SEE ALSO: Hurricane Irma: This monster storm is perfect in the most alarming waysTo keep up with the latest on Hurricane Irma, currently in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Florida, we've compiled the best online resources.
The National Hurricane Center should be the first place you go for accurate, timely info on wind speeds, forecasts, warnings, and everything else storm related. The website is a go-to site, but so is the main Twitter feed, along with the Atlantic Ops Twitter feed from the National Weather Service, which is also keeping up with the hurricane.
Florida, Puerto Rico, and other Caribbean islands are expecting to take the brunt of the storm. Local leaders are posting updates and resources about preparing for the natural disaster. Florida Gov. Rick Scott held a briefing on Irma Tuesday evening after declaring a state of emergency. His Twitter page has more emergency updates. Puerto Rico's governor, Ricardo Rossello, is also posting storm info and resources.
In south Florida, the Keys and Monroe County are preparing for landfall and many state agencies are keeping watch on the storm, and you can follow along.
The federal emergency agency, FEMA, is also full of storm updates and links out to social media accounts to follow about disaster preparedness and relief.
Astronauts in space help provide a "bigger picture" view of these storms. Many NASA Twitter pages send out images and video from space, like the International Space Station page or individual astronauts.
