maximum storm totals of 18 inches (450 mm) in South Florida.
 
Flash and river flooding will be possible in Cuba, along with
landslides in areas of higher terrain. Additional flash and urban

SURF:  Swells generated by Eta are expected to affect the north
coast of Cuba, the northwestern Bahamas, southern Florida and the
Florida Keys during the next day or so.  These swells are likely to
cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions. Please
consult products from your local weather office.
