Tropical Storm Elsa: What to Expect.

Freightwaves meteorologist reported this morning that Tropical Storm Elsa is headed towards Florida, and has the potential of reaching hurricane status before hitting land. Florida, along with Texas and Louisiana, are expecting heavy rainfall through tomorrow. Elsa is expected to go through Georgia and South Carolina later this week. 

Additionally, sections of Florida are in a weather warning as tornadoes may be a ‘side effect’ of Elsa, along with flash flooding in Florida, Georgia and surrounding areas. 

As Elsa progresses throughout the week, be prepared for delays in the southern region of the US. If you are concerned about your cargo during this time, please reach out to us.
