Tropical Storm Elsa pelted parts of the Southeast with suspected tornadoes as it continued on a path toward New York.
One suspected tornado touched down at Naval Submarine Base Kings Bay in Kings Bay, Georgia, Wednesday evening, resulting in reports of multiple injuries and damage. Many of the injured were transported to local medical facilities for treatment, according to the base.
That track prompted tropical storm watches in Long Island, New York, and from New Haven, Connecticut, to Sagamore Beach, Massachusetts. Tropical storm watches or warnings now cover much of the Eastern Seaboard, stretching from Georgia to Massachusetts, CNN meteorologist Taylor Ward said.Tropical Storm Elsa whips Cedar Key, Florida, on Wednesday morning.At least 1 storm related death in FloridaElsa's first US target was Florida -- and it unleashed havoc near the Georgia-Florida border.
