While President Trump continues to tweet whatever the hell he wants, there may be something else on his mind as Hurricane Irma spins toward the U.S. mainland.

Specifically, his properties that are in the storm's path. Golf courses, estates, and real estate properties all dot the landscape in Irma's forecast cone. Zoom in on the map below to see the full details of which properties are currently forecasted to be affected.

According to The Washington Post, Irma has already roared across one property. The president's Chateau des Palmiers estate on Plum Bay on the island of St. Martin took a direct hit from Irma early on Wednesday.

There's no word on the condition of the compound, which was recently put on the market for nearly $30 million but then dropped to around $17 million.

As for the other properties, Trump hasn't publicly mentioned them but locations like the Trump National Doral golf resort in Miami are preparing for the storm.

Mar-A-Lago, also known as White House South where Trump spent much of the early weeks of his administration, is also in the path of the storm. The estate was also threatened last year by Hurricane Matthew.

Golf course and real estate properties, like his Florida courses in Jupiter and West Palm Beach and his luxury properties in Sunny Isles, Florida are also extremely vulnerable based on the current path of the storm.

And if Irma continues on its current path with a due north turn, it could eventually impact Trump's golf course in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Also in the forecast cone?

The homes and businesses of tens of millions of Americans anxiously waiting for Trump to stop his weather nerd tweets and, ya know, communicate with the cash-strapped FEMA.

Rest assured, he will tweet about one or more of these properties this week so that we can know that, just like the residents of the Atlantic Coast, hey, he stands to take some damage, too.
