Thousands of Florida residents evacuated homes on Sunday as Subtropical Storm Alberto picked up strength as it headed north through the Gulf of Mexico, with forecasters saying it could bring life-threatening inundation to Southern coastal states.
The storm was about 105 miles south of Apalachicola, Florida, on the Gulf of Mexico coast as of 8 p.m. EDT and was expected to make landfall along the Florida Panhandle on Monday, the U.S. National Hurricane Center said.
