National Hurricane Center warned of life-threatening storm surges, flooding and isolated tornadoes. A hurricane warning has been issued for a long stretch of coastline, from Egmont Key at the mouth of Tampa Bay to the Steinhatchee River in Florida’s Big Bend area."Although the environment is not conducive for significant strengthening before landfall, only a slight increase in intensity would result in Elsa.
