"Ana is the first tropical storm to make landfall this early in any hurricane season." Those were the words of the Weather Channel at the video (click here).
Ana made landfall as a tropical storm between Myrtle Beach, South Carolina and North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina at 6:00 a.m. EDT on Sunday.
The National Hurricane Center downgraded Ana to a tropical depression at 2 p.m. EDT on Sunday.
According to hurricane specialist Michael Lowry of The Weather Channel, Ana is the second earliest landfalling tropical storm on record in the Atlantic.
Ana will continue to weaken as it slides northeastward from eastern North Carolina through southeast Virginia into Monday.
The coastal Carolinas will continue to see the most direct impacts overnight into Monday, including bands of locally heavy rain, some strong wind gusts, minor coastal flooding, dangerous rip currents and beach erosion. Some rain and gusty winds will also affect parts of southeast Virginia by Monday.
