Alligator Alcatraz' in Florida Everglades expected to be hit by thunderstorms: NWS

An immigration detention center in the Florida Everglades dubbed by officials as "Alligator Alcatraz" is expected to be hit by lightning and heavy winds on Sunday, the National Weather Service said.

According to NWS, the facility will be hit with winds reaching up to 50 mph.

Due to torrential downpours in the area, the detention center and Big Cypress National Park were placed under a special weather statement until 5:30 p.m., which means possible flooding could be seen.

Winds could also knock down tree limbs.
