(CNN)Hurricane Irma strengthened into a Category 4 storm as it inched closer to Florida, where hundreds of thousands are without power hours before one of the most powerful storms in the Atlantic hits.

Irma was 40 miles southeast of Key West early Sunday with winds of 130 mph, and is expected to pass Florida Keys between 7 a.m. and 8 a.m.

Its outer rain bands hammered the Florida Keys with whipping winds, heavy rain and powerful surges as it tore itself away from Cuba's northern coast...."

"...Those who did not evacuate are in danger, Federal Emergency Management Agency Administrator Brock Long said.

"You're on your own until we can actually get in there and it's safe," he told CNN.

"The message has been clear: The Keys are going to be impacted. There is no safe area within the Keys. And you put your life in your own hands by not evacuating."

Irma has been catastrophic, killing 24 people this week in the Caribbean islands, where entire neighborhoods lay in ruins.

The major concern is the storm surge, which can cause devastating flooding and could reach as high as 15 feet in some areas, officials warned.

"You can't survive these storm surges," the governor said. ..."

Quote:
Dollar-denominated gold moved to its highest price in more than a year on Friday after the U.S. Dollar fell to a 2-1/2 low against a basket of currencies. This made gold more attractive to foreign investors.

December Comex Gold settled at $1351.20, up $20.80 or +1.56%.

Gold was also supported by a decline in U.S. bond yields, which held near 10-month lows. The market was underpinned as investors continued to digest the comments made by the ECB, after it decided to leave its benchmark interest rate unchanged at its September meeting on Thursday.
