A major storm is approaching Florida just days after a 21-year-old man killed three Black people in a racially motivated killing.
President Joe Biden on Sunday said in a statement that authorities have opened a federal civil rights investigation into the shooting and are treating it as a possible hate crime.
Florida has been the scene of several of the nation’s worst mass shooting, including the 2016 shooting at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando that killed 49 people and the 2018 tragedy at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla., that left 17 people dead, including 14 students ranging in age from 14 to 18.
Idalia is expected to make landfall along a sparsely populated stretch of the Gulf Coast near the Panhandle known as the Big Bend. DeSantis said power outages will be a particular concern because it’s hitting an area of the state with plenty of tall, heavy-limbed trees. He also raised concerns about Tallahassee, which suffered massive power outages in the first two weeks after Hurricane Hermine, which made landfall near St. Marks, in the fall of 2016.
The impending storm will come less than a year after Hurricane Ian devastated parts of Florida, killing almost 150 people and causing billions of dollars in damage.
