Tropical Storm Emily went as quickly as it came. The storm made landfall just before 11am yesterday on Anna Maria Island just west of Bradenton. Maximum sustained winds were measured at 45 miles pers hour, but quickly weakened as it moved inland. A tropical storm warning was in effect for a time yesterday from Englewood to Bonita Beach south of Fort Myers. Florida Gov. Rick Scott declared a state of emergency in 31 Florida counties in response to the storm.
