Eta has already brought strong winds and heavy rain to Brevard County and much of Central Florida.
The storm is churning over the Gulf and the tropical storm warning for Brevard County expired early Monday.
Brevard Ocean Rescue told Eyewitness News that most people have been watching the storm on shore from a safe distance. The county has been closely monitoring beach conditions and said, so far, there are no significant signs of erosion.
