Miami Beach Mayor: Irma Is a ‘Nuclear Hurricane’

EXCERPT:

LEVINE: "Well, I can tell you, I’m on Ocean Drive right now, which is usually full of a lot of people having a lot of fun. Right now, it’s incredibly quiet, there's no one really walking around but a couple of camera crews. We began telling people to leave Miami Beach about three days ago, before mandatory evacuation. We take this storm incredibly serious. That’s why I called it a nuclear hurricane. It is dangerous, it is coming our way. The mandatory evacuation, which came yesterday, we are enforcing it, people are leaving. But I’ll tell you one thing, which is great. It’s orderly, it’s organized, our causeways in and out of the beach have been very good, very clear, and people are leaving. Now, we are doing everything we can to tell them to leave."
