(MIAMI) — Hurricane Irma's outer bands blew into South Florida on Saturday as residents scrambled to leave ahead of the massive storm that's now aimed at the Tampa Bay area and the state's Gulf Coast.

Forecasters expect Irma's core to come ashore Sunday and strike the Keys, southwestern Florida and the Tampa Bay region, which hasn't felt a major hurricane since 1921.
