Hurricane Irma has a high-profile target in its potentially deadly path as it races toward the Florida coastline: President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago.

Irma is the second-strongest storm ever recorded in the Atlantic Ocean, and the National Hurricane Center is warning that its projected track toward a U.S. landfall on Sunday is “potentially catastrophic.” As of 5 a.m. today, the storm was bearing down on the Leeward Islands and is expected to engulf the northern Virgin Islands later today. It could skim Puerto Rico this afternoon or tonight, passing just north of the island.
