Tropical Storm Elsa gathered strength and has become a Category 1 hurricane with sustained winds of 75 mph as it looms off the coast of Florida
The storm's rains lashed the Caribbean and the Florida Keys and complicated the search for survivors in the deadly collapse of a Miami-area condo 12 days ago
So far, 36 people have been found in the rubble of the demolished building and 109 are still missing
The storm is expected to make landfall between 8am and 9am on Wednesday
