The storm was expected to make landfall around midday Monday in the Big Bend area of Florida, the hurricane center said. A tornado watch also was in effect for parts of Florida and Georgia until 6 a.m. Monday. Officials in Savannah said the area could see a month's worth of rain in four days if the system stalls over the region.
At a briefing Sunday afternoon, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis warned the storm could lead to"really, really significant flooding that will happen in North Central Florida."
