Residents along Gulf Coast bracing for tropical storm
Areas saturated by recent heavy rains could see flash flooding as Tropical Storm Elsa makes her way up the Florida Gulf Coast. She could reach hurricane strength when it makes landfall early Wednesday somewhere along the Florida Gulf Coast.
As of 1 p.m. central time, Elsa was about 180 mi. south of Tampa, packing 70 miles an hour maximum sustained winds and moving north at around 9 mph.
“I’m expecting Elsa’s core to remain over the warm Gulf waters [Tues] evening, and that could help it to re-strengthen into a hurricane just prior to landfall on the Nature Coast early on Wednesday,” said Megan Borowski at F-PREN – the Florida Public Radio Emergency Network.
