Cat 4 Hurricane Jose to spare Caribbean as it moves towards open waters

Hurricane Irma has already wreaked havoc over the Caribbean Islands and has caused massive destruction in Cuba. Now, the storm is moving towards Florida and is likely to hit anytime soon where severe damage is expected.

Another storm brewing in the Atlantic called Jose. Hurricane Jose is currently a Cat 4 storm and the storm was expected to follow Irma’s path and cause more destruction on its way. However, if recent reports are taken into consideration, the Northern Caribbean Islands have been spared by Hurricane Jose which is packing winds of about 145 mph.
