Richard Branson has said he will remain on his private island in the Caribbean even as it faces being battered by the "potentially catastrophic" Hurricane Irma.
The billionaire businessman published a blog post Tuesday saying that he would ride out the storm with fellow British Virgin Islands residents, despite the eye of the storm being headed directly for his own Necker Island.
Branson has remained with his team on the island during previous hurricanes, which have hit the island three times since he bought it in 1979, but this is the first time Necker has been in the eye of the storm.
"I will be on Necker alongside our team, as I have been on the three times we have had hurricanes over the past 30 years," Branson said Tuesday.
