The Brief Seniors in Cape Canaveral are prepping for potential impacts from Tropical Storm Imelda, as it passed within a couple hundred miles of Florida's coast. Residents are putting in makeshift fixes because of this week’s storm while they wait for the city to make lasting upgrades. Some 200 miles east of Florida's Atlantic Coast is Tropical Storm Imelda, which is expected to strengthen into a hurricane. While both systems are expected to make sharp turns away from the United States and towards the Atlantic, Tropical Storm Imelda will have significant impacts along Florida's Atlantic Coast, including periods of rain from the outerbands, and choppy waves and rip currents at the beaches. They say they've been trying for nearly five years to fix the flooding with city assistance and are struggling to get anywhere.
