Elsa made landfall as a tropical storm late Wednesday morning along Florida s Nature Coast in Taylor county with top sustained winds of 65 mph. Its winds are expected to weaken, but flash flooding and isolated tornadoes are possible Wednesday afternoon, especially in North-Central and Northeast Florida.
A feeder band far removed from the center of Elsa produced some of the state s heaviest rainfall totals in parts of Southwest Florida. Estimates from radar and gauges are showing between 6 and 10 inches of rain has fallen from eastern Manatee and Hardee counties southward into Desoto, Charlotte, and Lee counties.

So far, rain amounts have been limited along most of the Atlantic coast, which has been farthest removed from the center of Elsa.
