To keep up with the latest on Hurricane Irma, currently in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Florida, we've compiled the best online resources.

Stock up on facts

The National Hurricane Center should be the first place you go for accurate, timely info on wind speeds, forecasts, warnings, and everything else storm related. The website is a go-to site, but so is the main Twitter feed, along with the Atlantic Ops Twitter feed from the National Weather Service, which is also keeping up with the hurricane.

Florida, Puerto Rico, and other Caribbean islands are expecting to take the brunt of the storm. Local leaders are posting updates and resources about preparing for the natural disaster. Florida Gov. Rick Scott held a briefing on Irma Tuesday evening after declaring a state of emergency. His Twitter page has more emergency updates. Puerto Rico's governor, Ricardo Rossello, is also posting storm info and resources.

See it to believe it

Astronauts in space help provide a "bigger picture" view of these storms. Many NASA Twitter pages send out images and video from space, like the International Space Station page or individual astronauts.

Hurricane Hunters from NOAA and the U.S. Air Force Reserves also capture images from within the storm.

NOAA's satellite imagery brings the severity of the storm into focus.

Chase the storm

Twitter is full of media experts (like Mashable's own senior science editor), devoted meteorologists, and other hardcore weather geeks.

Some accounts to follow:

  • Josh Morgerman, self-described "hardcore hurricane chaser"

  • Greg Postel, The Weather Channel's hurricane expert

  • Robert Speta, meteorologist and weather geek

  • Jim Edds, extreme weather photographer

Many media outlets, including Mashable, closely follow big storms like Harvey and Irma. Local news outlets in Puerto Rico and other Caribbean islands and Florida are ramping up Irma coverage as the storm moves to those areas. National outlets like USA TODAYand CNN Weather are deep in coverage.

Irma's shaping up to be a historic hurricane, so all eyes are on the storm (and our TV, smartphone and computer screens).
