Hurricane Idalia was expected to have a “catastrophic” impact as “an extremely dangerous Category 4” storm when it made landfall at the Big Bend coast of Florida on Wednesday, August 30.

The storm’s outer bands arrived in Florida’s southwest on Tuesday, bringing coastal flooding, rough surf, and strong winds.

Florida Gov Ron DeSantis, who on Monday expanded a state of emergency to include 46 counties, warned on Tuesday evening that the time to evacuate was running out.

“It’s going to be too nasty tomorrow morning,” he said.
