Meteorologists
Several meteorologists are in the thick of the storm as they tackle Hurricane Irma head on.
Three of the main storm chasers documenting the conditions are Simon Brewer, Juston Drake and National Geographic Photographer Mike Theiss.
Their footage of Irma has been shared by thousands of Twitter users as they search for updates on Irma.
The videos show steady flood water, heavy rains and intense wind pounding on the Florida Keys.
Miami
It was originally predicted that Miami was going to get the worst of Irma's wrath. Luckily for the city's residents, Irma's path changed, but they're still getting hit with storms as the hurricane comes through.
Twitter users in Miami have shared several clips from the downtown area. There appears to be heavy rainfall and hard gusts of wind.
The conditions aren't nearly as severe as in the Keys, but it's still going to cause loads of damage to the area.
Fort Lauderdale
There have been tornado watches in effect across south Florida since Irma neared landfall.
A video has been going viral that shows one of the closest calls the region has had with tornadoes thus far.
The above clip shows a funnel cloud beginning to take shape over Fort Lauderdale, which is just north of Miami. A tornado alarm can also be heard going off in the area as well.
Other Areas
While the largest cities are being hit, less prominent places will also be affected by Irma.
Videos have surfaced of the areas neighboring the storm's path, with heavy rainfall striking most places.
The above clips show conditions in Weston, Fort Pierce and areas near the Everglades.
Help on the Way
As the storm strikes, relief efforts are already gearing up to help the area.
Florida called 7,000 National Guard members to duty ahead of Irma.
Now power companies across the country are sending in their workers to prep for the state's recovery.
Workers from Texas-based Oncor are shown heading out to assist in the relief efforts and get power restored.
