As Hurricane Irma continued its devastating run in the Caribbean, Cuba evacuated dolphins held in a dolphinarium in the north of the country, where Irma made landfall Friday night. The six dolphins were wrapped in wet towels to ensure healthy travel and put on helicopters that took the dolphins to the province of Cienfuegos, the Mirror reported. As it struck the country with 160 mph winds, on its way toward Florida, Irma was upgraded from Category 4 to Category 5 – the most powerful designation by the National Hurricane Center. And Irma's effects in Cuba reportedly began to look a lot like the devastation seen on other Caribbean islands over the last week. It is pouring off and on, and the lights are out.”Irma is now on a path to hit Florida, potentially on Sunday.
