Tropical Storm Eta brought heavy rain and strong winds, causing flooding across South Florida’s most densely populated urban areas on November 9, which was flooded in heavy rain with 350mm of rain in October.
After this storm hit Nicaragua and killed nearly 70 people in the area from Mexico to Panama, Hurricane Eta swept across the Gulf of Mexico in early November with winds of up to 85 km / h. Here, the storm caused widespread power outages affecting thousands of residents.
Eta made landfall late November 8, sweeping through Lower Matecumbe. Densely populated areas of Miami-Dade and Broward counties were damaged by the storm, and many roads flooded into rivers.
Eta is the 28th storm this year in the Atlantic. Weather forecasters have reported that subtropical hurricane Theta, the 29th, formed in the northeastern Atlantic on the night of November 9. Currently, this storm does not pose an immediate threat to the mainland.
During the night of November 9, typhoon Eta moved at a speed of about 285 km / h southwest of the Tortugas islands, Gulf of Mexico. The storm has slowed down in recent hours, forecasters said, and is expected to intensify during the night as it circled the southern Gulf of Mexico. The US National Hurricane Center warned, Hurricane Eta is still in danger of threatening Florida later this week even though the storm is moving offshore.
