Tropical storm conditions are expected along the south-east coast of Florida, the Upper Keys and Florida Bay tomorrow with the area on watch for a storm, said the US National Hurricane Center.
Hurricane Sandy struck through Cuba this morning after sweeping through Jamaica and Haiti earlier in the week.

Authorities in Jamaica closed its international airports and redirected cruise ships on Wednesday, with winds said to have hit a high of 114mph in Cuba. The airports have now reopened.
Two people have reportedly died in Jamaica and Haiti.
