Tropical Storm Eta made what's expected to be its final exit from land Thursday, swirling off over the Atlantic at the Florida-Georgia border after spreading death and destruction over a meandering 10-day journey from Nicaragua and Honduras. It was still lashing the Carolinas with 45 mph winds and heavy rain Thursday night and early Friday, triggering flash flooding, road closures, and at least one collapse bridge in South Carolina, National Weather Service meteorologist Sandy La Course told The Associated Press. "It's unfortunately been a tough day for the Carolinas today."Eta made landfall near Cedar Key, Florida, earlier Thursday, dousing Tampa as it crawled across the state. One man died from electrocution in Bradenton Beach after stepping into his flooded garage to lay sandbags. The was Eta's second foray in the state, after brushing across the Florida Keys on Sunday.But most of the destruction was in Nicaragua, Honduras, and Guatemala. Eta hit Nicaragua and Honduras on Nov. 3 as a massive Category 4 hurricane, and it affected at least 3.6 million Central Americans before it crossed over into the Caribbean off Mexico. At least 120 people died, and the rains buried towns in landslides, washed out bridges, and destroyed homes. Many more people are still missing and presumed dead. CNN showed some of the destruction, plus Eta's bizarre and winding path, on Thursday.Eta was the 28th named storm of a record Atlantic hurricane season. Tropical Storm Theta is currently whirling through the mid-Atlantic, and there are concerns a storm to be named Iota could form and hit northern Honduras, right where Eta did the most damage.More stories from theweek.com 7 scathingly funny cartoons about Trump's refusal to concede Trump is reportedly 'very aware' he lost the election but is putting up a fight as 'theater' Texas senator suggests it's too soon to declare Biden the winner because Puerto Rico is still counting votes
