Hurricane Irma continues on its path of destruction as it tracks northwards across Florida




Hurricane Irma rages on across the southern coast of the United States, leaving destruction in its wake as it moves on a northern direction up the Florida Peninsula.

At least three people have died in mainland US because of the storm so far, while millions are without power.

Irma has now been downgraded to a Category One storm, but powerful winds of up to 130mph are lashing the areas surrounding what has been the most violent hurricane to hit the US since Katrina.

Irma is expected to reach Georgia and South Carolina this afternoon, local time.
