'Catastrophic' Hurricane Maria now a Category FOUR and rapidly intensifying as the storm targets Caribbean islands crushed by Irma

Hurricane Maria strengthened from a Category 1 storm to Category 4 on Monday
It's expected to make its first landfall tonight in the Leeward Islands
Forecasters say it could get even stronger and become a Category 5 as it enters the warm waters of the eastern Caribbean 
Many of the islands in Maria's path are just beginning to recover from the battering of Hurricane Irma
Puerto Rico is expected to take a direct hit, after losing power to most of the island due to a mere brush with Irma earlier this month 
It's still too early to tell if Maria poses any threat to the U.S. mainland
