The National Hurricane Center (NHC) is warning of storm surges of 10–15 feet in some areas of Florida as hurricane Idalia makes landfall, warning residents of “destructive life-threatening winds” across the state.
“Catastrophic impacts from storm surge inundation of 10 to 15 feet above ground level and destructive waves are expected somewhere between Aucilla River and Yankeetown, Florida,” the National Hurricane Center’s (NHC) 11 a.m. update of the storm reads, warning that “life-threatening storm surge inundation” is likely for portions of the Gulf Coast.
Further, the NHC warns of the potential for “destructive life-threatening winds where the core of Idalia moves onshore in the Big Bend region of Florida, with hurricane conditions expected elsewhere in portions of the Hurricane Warning area along the Florida Gulf Coast.”

Time to clean the stores out of plywood/osb, gennies, TP, water, snacks and beer.
So far, western area of St. Pete...near Kenneth City....not very bad. Periodic heavy rain squalls and wind but not too forceful. Streets not flooded. And, thankfully, still have power. Hope it stays this way!
Praying fellow Floridian Freepers are safe and homes not affected.
Thanks.
