Tropical Storm Eta makes landfall on Florida coast
Tropical Storm Eta made landfall on the Florida coast Thursday, threatening to wash away bridges, damage piers and tear boats from their moorings.
The storm's fourth landfall took place just to the south of Cedar Key, Florida at 4 a.m., with winds of 50 mph, according to CNN meteorologist Michael Guy.
Tropical-storm-force winds extend 115 miles from the storm's center, according to the National Hurricane Center.
More than 15,000 customers in Florida are currently without power, according to PowerOutage.US.
Western Florida was pummeled with tropical storm-force winds and heavy rain much of Wednesday.
And officials in areas such as St. Petersburg, Sarasota and Madeira Beach have already responded to reports of roofs torn off and flooded streets.
Eta strengthened to a hurricane briefly on Wednesday morning, but then weakened to a tropical storm with 60 mph winds, according to the NHC.
The hurricane watch for portions of Florida's west coast was lifted, but tropical storm warnings remained in place for Englewood to Suwannee River, Florida, and for Flagler/Volusia County Florida line.
