Tropical Storm Eta made landfall on Cuba early Sunday and is now heading for Florida, according to the Hurricane Center. Dozens of people were killed and more than 100 are still missing in Central America after the storm hit that region as a major hurricane, causing massive landslides in Guatemala. Florida Gov.

The storm is expected to strengthen and hit southern Florida late Sunday or early Monday.
