While the worst may have passed for Puerto Rico, Florida is still gearing up for what could be the worst storm to hit Central Florida in three decades.

Because of this, the Florida Keys will likely not be hit by the storm, but the east coast of Georgia and North Florida might have to worry about getting hit.

This is the projected storm track as of 5 am Thursday:
