Elsa, now a post-tropical cyclone, battered the East Coast with heavy rainfall and gusty winds on Friday.
After making landfall in Florida and pummeling the southeastern United States, Elsa is moving north with the eye of the storm sweeping over the coastlines of Delaware, New Jersey and New York on Friday morning before reaching Massachusetts and Maine this afternoon, according to the latest forecast from the National Weather Service.
As of 5 p.m. ET, Elsa was moving to the northeast at 35 mph with its center located 65 miles southeast of Portland, Maine. The deadly storm was packing maximum sustained winds of 50 miles per hour, with even higher gusts.
The National Weather Service said it doesn’t anticipate a significant change in Elsa’s strength through Friday. The storm has weakened from the first hurricane of the 2021 Atlantic season. Elsa is expected to move offshore from the northeastern U.S. coast by Friday evening before heading to Canada’s Atlantic provinces by late Friday night and Saturday. The storm is then forecast to gradually weaken over the weekend.
Flash flood watches are still in effect for Maine on Friday evening after flooding in Philadelphia, New York City and Boston during the day.

Daniel Whyte III, president of Gospel Light Society International, says, this foolishness is very dangerous and needs to stop. Whyte tells the SUPREME LEADER OF NORTH KOREA Kim Jong-un to stop acting like a child with toys. For you are playing Russian Roulette with your life, the life of your beautiful daughter, and the lives of your people, and you are putting the people of South Korea, who happen to be your family as well and the people of Japan’s lives in danger of destruction. Remember what Jesus Christ said: “Blessed are the peacemakers.” Stop this asinine activity, and if you can, work out a peaceful resolution with your family to the south. President Xi Jinping of China will be more than happy to help you do it.")
