The US National Hurricane Center (NHC) reported that after pounding Cuba with a devastating storm surge and flooding rains and mudslides, Tropical Storm Elsa gained on Monday slightly in intensity as it moved North towards Florida Keys. Around 180000 people in Cuba were evacuated from homes before Storm Elsa hit Monday. Elsa passed over St. Lucia and the Dominion Republic, killing three persons.
