“The guy was out working on cleaning up a tree in the road, just a local citizen doing good things,” Paulk told The Associated Press. “A big gust of wind came up and dropped another tree, killed him instantly.” While many eastern school systems canceled classes or direct remote learning for Thursday, Cooper said no evacuation orders had been issued along the coast.
But Taylor County Sheriff Wayne Padgett said Wednesday that could change once the small towns along the beach are searched. Flooding could be the state's biggest threat. Wednesday evening’s high tide in Charleston Harbor was forecast to be nearly 9 feet above normal sea level, or about 3 feet above normal high tide.
Tampa International Airport announced it was reopening to arriving flights Wednesday afternoon and that departing flights and normal operations will resume early Thursday. Criswell was with Biden when he phoned DeSantis, and the president stressed that over 1,500 federal personnel were in the area to assist with any response or rescue effort.100-year-old tree falls next to Florida governor's mansion
Gov. Brian Kemp said Wednesday that the storm initially appeared to be less severe than 2018’s Hurricane Michael, which caused widespread damage in south Georgia. This storm is narrow and moving fast. He warned those in its path to be aware of the dangers. Idalia’s fierce winds uprooted trees and sent rain flying sideways in Valdosta, near the Florida line. Video from news outlets showed a large tree toppled onto a house, an awning mangled and twisted outside a storefront, and standing water on some roads.
Long said he worried most about the 3 to 5 feet of storm surge forecast to coincide Wednesday night with a higher-than-normal high tide amplified by a full moon.
