Hurricane Maria is coming, hard. Maybe not as hard as Harvey and Irma earlier this month, but hard enough to take wise precautions.
Category 4 as it stands now, one tier down from severest on the scale.

Waves in the Irma storm waters that are flooding the streets of the Florida Keys look vicious, as though they are seeking to destroy. That is a sign that if you are in the Florida Keys as we speak, citizens, tourists, vacationers, visitors, the smartest action to take is leave as soon as possible without any further delay.
(Emergency personnel not mentioned as they know their job function.)
From a science perspective, the density, speed, force and momentum of the waves, and them being repeated, are bound to cause destruction to infrastructure that could lead to further dangers, such as electric power structures.
It may spell out evacuation. It may spell out an emergency mass evacuation.
Summary of advisable action
Evacuate upon orders or sooner as appropriate. Stay out of the way of the waters surging. There may be unfamiliar creatures of different sorts that have displaced and could emerge or be in the waters, be careful of these possibilities, it is not advisable to stand idle in the water if not necessary.
Movement of the storm
Before any further, restricting storm damage to what is just from the storm Irma per se might be an injustice. Through here, as in the past several days, and the next several days, storm conditions might be present with or without Irma, from another storm system, or a combination. It all does not really matter at this point. The key now is to stay out of harm's way.
For now Irma appears to be moving in the weather conditions manifestation in a curve-ball pattern northeastern heading inland, it looks like a right hook punch moving through. (The bird's eye view of the whole storm system moving in a curve-ball in the northwestern direction at the 10:30 direction (using a clock-face system), is applicable where applicable, not applicable where not applicable.) The storm is moving from the waters off the coast of Florida, ramming through the Florida Keys, then moving on to Florida, and may generally be moving further inland, such as Georgia, and Tennessee, and/or moving north slightly toward the Carolinas.
Locations Explained
The Florida Keys are a string of islands south of the southern tip of the main land portion of Florida, otherwise described as south of Miami and looks like a long feather dangling below with the quill analogous the major highway that runs through the islands. Islamorada and Key Largo to Key West.
The Carolinas have eastern shorelines, which could see repercussions of the storm system.
Regions north of the Carolinas, such as Virginia, Washington DC and Maryland, stand the possibility that they could see some of the storms impact in the form of heavy rains and winds harsher than average in the upcoming days.
Moving inland from Florida means, the storm Irma and the storm conditions generally are on their way further into Florida, into Georgia, into Tennessee and Alabama, at least.

It is September 7th 2017, talk has been around for a few days now about Hurricane Irma being powerful and imminent. A key in staying ahead of storms of that kind of magnitude is time; waiting until the last minute to try to come up with an effective plan that involves numerous square miles and millions of people is not a prudent strategy.
What those of us in the United States need to know, and really have a strong grapple on, is to realize these storms could be coming and not to blow them off, or wait until they are within visibility of their house or an authority is standing outside on a loudspeaker instructing an immediate evacuation.
The storms are Hurricane Irma, and Hurricane Katia.
These storms move around and change in different ways as they move along. Winds of 150mph might not be felt yet, but that does not mean they might not get here, with a bunch more elements such as heavy rain, flooding, generally a force of destruction to infrastructure that only a few know exactly what to expect, measure until it hits.
Stay safe.

In summary:
Debt ceiling raised, deal worked out with Republican headed White House and Democrats, a deal referred to as 'Pelosi-Schumer-Trump'
