A torrential storm with winds at 65 miles per hour was expected to hit the coast of Florida some time on Memorial Day --and it’s not even hurricane season yet.

“Alberto,” which was actually 10 miles per hour too slow to be considered a hurricane, was well on its way Monday to blasting the southeastern corner of the U.S. The eye of the storm was less than 30 miles south-southwest from Panama City, Florida. People in the Gulf coast braced for flash flooding, rip currents, lightening strikes, power outages and strong winds starting Monday evening.
