A tropical storm watch was issued for the Florida Keys from Craig Key westward to the Dry Tortugas Saturday evening as Tropical Storm Elsa headed toward the state.
One death was reported in St. Lucia, according to the Caribbean Disaster Emergency Management Agency. Meanwhile, a 15-year-old boy and a 75-year-old woman died Saturday in separate events in the Dominican Republic after walls collapsed on them, according to a statement from the Emergency Operations Center. The storm had maximum sustained winds of 65 mph and was moving in a west-northwesterly direction at about 14 mph by early Sunday, according to the National Hurricane Center. The storm was forecast to hit Cuba next on a path that would take it to Florida.More Related News
