Made landfall in Florida early this morning
(NEWSER) - Tropical Storm Beryl is here, and it greeted the Southeast by walloping it with 70mph winds—nearly as powerful as a hurricane's. The storm made landfall just after midnight near Jacksonville Beach, Florida, and is set to move through Florida and Georgia. Though the storm's maximum sustained winds have dropped to near 50mph, today's BBQ outlook for the area isn't so rosy: Some places may see up to 12 inches of rain, the AP reports, and experts are warning of possible 2- to 4-foot floods in northeastern Florida and Georgia, as well as some flooding in South Carolina.
