Hurricane Idalia: See photos of Category 3 hurricane as it makes landfall in Florida
View Date:2024-12-23 11:30:46
Wednesday morning, Hurricane Idalia made landfall in Florida's Big Bend, the area around Tallahassee where the northern part of the state meets the panhandle.
The Category 3 tropical cyclone, which has weakened from a Category 4, brought a storm surge, flooding and power outages for hundreds of thousands as it moves through Florida and heads toward Georgia.
The National Weather Service in Tallahassee described Idalia as an "unprecedented event," saying no major hurricane had ever hit the Big Bend's Apalachee Bay. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis declared a state of emergency for 49 of Florida's 67 counties, from the Gulf Coast to the Atlantic Coast.
Idalia's path is forecast to move through Florida along the Florida-Georgia border, than through the coasts of Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina.
