Manx resident's fear for holiday home
A Manx resident with property in Florida has made preparations ahead of Hurricane Irma.
Juan Thomas has a holiday home in Orlando - where Irma is expected to hit at wind speeds of up to 100 miles an hour.
Many of his friends there have evacuated, heading further north to escape the storm - from where millions of south Floridians are sheltering after leaving their homes behind in south and central regions.
It's strengthened again, as it reaches US shores.
Mr Thomas says he's lived through hurricane season before, but Irma is unprecedented:
Ramsey and District Cottage Hospital closure 'inconvenient' but 'significant issues' need to be fixed
Four local authorities looking for by-election candidates
Reinstatement of home births 'remains at top of agenda' for Manx Care
Weekend sailings at risk
Plans submitted for 85 new homes on former Buchan School site
