HURRICANE Irma, one of the most powerful storms ever recorded in the Atlantic, hit the US state of Florida with 130-mph (210 kmh) winds on Sunday as millions of people huddled in shelters or battened-down homes.
The National Weather Service said the storm made landfall at Cudjoe Key in the lower Florida Keys at 9.10 am and forecasters are warning that a second landfall could happen later on Sunday.
