(Bloomberg) – Tropical Storm Colin moved out to sea early Tuesday after knocking out power to thousands, prompting Florida Governor Rick  Scott to declare a state of emergency. The threat of a storm surge flooding shifted to the Atlantic Coast from the Gulf of Mexico.

The system may bring 1 to 3 inches (7.6 centimeters) more rain across eastern North Carolina and central Florida through Tuesday, the National Hurricane Center said in a bulletin at about 5 a.m. New York time. A tropical storm warning was dropped for the Gulf Coast and part of the Atlantic Coast while one remained in place from Altamaha Sound, Georgia, to Oregon Inlet in North Carolina.
