Hurricane Irma continues on its unstoppable path of destruction, after hammering Cuba overnight.

Now, the storm is heading on a collision course with Florida, where millions of people have been ordered to evacuate.

Irma, now downgraded to a Category 4 storm but is still whipping up winds of 160mph, is expected to arrive at the Florida Keys early on Sunday morning.

At least 24 people have so far died due to storm-related causes.
