At least two are killed by Irma, which is now over Puerto Rico.

Irma kills at least two on its way through the Caribbean. It's wreaked havoc in the Leeward and Virgin Islands, and is now threatening Puerto Rico.
Also, Facebook admits it may have sold advertising to Russians trying to influence the US election, and a DNA test disproves claims of Salvador Dali's  would-be love-child.
