Hermine made landfall in Florida early Friday morning and will continue to deliver heavy rain, gusty winds, flooding and the risk of tornadoes into Friday night. The storm became a Category 1 hurricane shortly before 3 p.m. EDT Thursday and made landfall around 1:30 a.m. EDT Friday east of St. Marks, Florida, along the Florida Panhandle. While losing its water source over land, Hermine weakened back to a tropical storm at 5 a.m. EDT Friday morning. The last hurricane to make landfall in Florida prior to Hermine was Wilma in 2005. It has been over 3900 days since a major hurricane last hit the U.S. mainland.
