I noticed Irma yesterday on the NRL Tropical Cyclone Page when it was just a tropical storm in the Atlantic. Based on the current trajectory forecast, Hurricane Irma is headed toward Pointe-à-Pitre, which is the largest city and regional capital of Guadeloupe, according to Wikipedia.

UPDATE: Hurricane Irma was NEVER RECORDED AS A CATEGORY 1.
Irma jumped straight from practically nothing to a category 2 before anyone got a chance to measure it as a category 1. That’s basically impossible, unless NOAA is lying, or someone flipped a switch somehwere (sic) and “turned on” a hurricane! I’d bet someone flipped a switch.
Check out this storm tracking map, you can see here that Irma went from nothing of significance to a category 2 like someone simply flipped a switch!

CONFIRMED: Irma is now a hurricane
IN ONLY 10 MINUTES, tropical storm Irma went from 70 mph sustained winds, straight to 100 mph sustained winds. It was like an ambush, it was not supposed to intensify to hurricane until this week end!
This is the type of anomaly I look for when determining if a storm is man made or not, this change was actually unnatural, and it is absolutely real, straight from NOAA SEE THIS it is real folks! 100 MPH sustained winds already??!!??
Hurricane Irma is impossibly far to the East to be as powerful as it is. The tropical depressions that become Atlantic hurricanes form off the west coast of Africa, and usually stay at either storm strength or remain depressions until they are at least twice as far off the African coast as Irma is now. This one could be a whopper. I doubt the sudden strengthening, which defied predictions, is natural. I still think Harvey was natural but am beginning to think they played with Harvey after landfall. This apparently will not be the case with Irma.
