While Tropical Storm Isaias hit Florida in August of this year, we have not seen a big tropical storm since. Now, Tropical Storm Eta is moving to Florida.
The storm is expected to move through Cuba this Sunday and then head straight towards Florida, according to CNN. Although this has been a very active hurricane season, this would be the first storm to make landfall this year in Florida.

According to Click Orlando, Eta’s maximum winds have decreased to 60 MPH, however they expect that this storm could become a hurricane as it nears Florida. They also mention that Central Florida, where Disney World is located, should expect spotty power outages, loose items blown around, minor tree damage, hazardous driving in heaviest rain from storm, and beach erosion.

Click Orlando expects the storm to stay in the Gulf of Mexico for a few days before making landfall in Florida. While this may not turn into a hurricane, if you are visiting Disney World within the next week, be sure to pack your rainy day bag with an umbrella and a rain jacket so you can still enjoy the parks!
