Tropical Storm Eta moved across Cuba and into the Florida Straits on the morning of November 8. Eta tracked northwest through the day and then made landfall along the Central Florida Keys early during the morning of November 9. Eta produced a short to moderate duration of sustained tropical storm force winds. These winds drove seas of at least 14 to 19 feet. After the sustained tropical storm winds lessened, squalls with convective gusts to tropical storm force occurred over the coastal waters and spread onshore the beaches near Cape Canaveral and along southern Hutchinson Island.
