See more detailed information

Hurricane Idalia is a post-tropical cyclone currently approaching Bermuda. The tenth tropical storm,[a] third hurricane, and second major hurricane of the 2023 Atlantic hurricane season, Idalia formed from a low-pressure area that crossed Central America from the eastern Pacific Ocean. Gradual development ensued as it meandered in the western part of the Caribbean Sea; the system was upgraded to a tropical depression on August 26 and strengthened into a tropical storm a day later, receiving the name Idalia. It traversed the Gulf of Mexico where it underwent rapid intensification, briefly becoming a Category 4 hurricane prior to making landfall in the Big Bend region of Florida at Category 3 strength on August 30. It remained a hurricane as it crossed into Southeast Georgia, then pushed into the Carolinas as a tropical storm. On August 31, Idalia emerged into the Atlantic Ocean, where it transitioned into a post-tropical cyclone that same day.

triangle Extratropical cyclone, remnant low, tropical disturbance, or monsoon depression

On August 24, a trough of low pressure formed in the Eastern Pacific basin offshore of the Central America coast.[1] The disturbance crossed over into the Atlantic basin the following day, and began to organize as it moved northward through the western Caribbean Sea. The pace of organization quickened on August 26, while the disturbance was located near the northeastern Yucatán Peninsula, and at 21:00 UTC it was upgraded to Tropical Depression Ten.[2] Later that day, and into the next, the depression drifted due to weak surrounding steering currents, with its center moving in a small counterclockwise loop.[3][4] The depression became Tropical Storm Idalia at 15:15 UTC on August 27, after a NOAA Hurricane Hunters flight reported that the storm's winds had increased to 40 mph (65 km/h).[5] Early the next morning, Idalia began moving northward[6] toward the Yucatán Channel west of Cuba, intensifying along the way.[7] By 09:00 UTC on August 29, after passing near the western tip of Cuba, the storm had developed sufficiently to be classified a Category 1 hurricane.[8] Later that day, Idalia intensified to Category 2 strength,[9] benefiting from exceptional conditions, with sea-surface temperatures of 88 °F (31 °C), generally low wind shear, and high relative humidity levels.[10] It then proceeded to rapidly intensify, reaching Category 4 strength on the morning of August 30, a few hours prior to landfall, with maximum sustained winds of 130 mph (215 km/h) and a minimum central pressure of 940 mbar (27.76 inHg).[11] This marked a wind increase of 55 mph (89 km/h) during the 24 hour period ending at 09:00 UTC on August 30, making it one of fastest rates of tropical cyclone intensification ever observed in the Atlantic basin 24 hours before landfall. Idalia's intensification was then halted by an eyewall replacement cycle, which caused it to weaken slightly prior to landfall.[12] Idalia made landfall at 11:45 UTC, about 20 miles (30 km) south of Perry, Florida, as a Category 3 hurricane, with sustained winds of 125 mph (205 km/h).[13] The system quickly weakened inland as it pushed through Northern Florida, becoming a tropical storm later that day after crossing into Georgia.[14][15] Strong southwesterly wind shear then pushed the storm's convection well north and east of its center as it moved off the northeastern South Carolina coast and emerged into the Atlantic Ocean on the morning of August 31.[16] That afternoon, Idalia transitioned into a post-tropical cyclone about 65 miles (105 km) southeast of Cape Hatteras, North Carolina. However, the NHC continued to issue advisories on the system due to a tropical storm warning being issued for Bermuda.[17]

Current storm information

As of 11:00 a.m. EDT (15:00 UTC) September 1, Post-Tropical Cyclone Idalia is located within 30 nautical miles of 31°54′N 67°54′W / 31.9°N 67.9°W / 31.9; -67.9 (Idalia), about 185 mi (300 km) W of Bermuda. Maximum sustained winds are 60 mph (95 km/h), with gusts up to 70 mph (110 km/h). The minimum barometric pressure is 998 mbar (29.47 inHg), and the system is moving east-southeast at 17 mph (28 km/h).

Due to a tropical storm warning being issued for Bermuda, advisories on Post-Tropical Cyclone Idalia will continue. For the latest official information, see:

Watches and warnings

Preparations

Cuba

More than 10,000 people were evacuated from Pinar del Río and Artemisa provinces.[18] Patients in Bahía Honda were evacuated to a local clinic after fearing flooding.[19]

United States

The Weather Prediction Center’s Excessive Rainfall Outlook for Tropical Storm Idalia

On August 28, hurricane warnings and storm surge warnings were issued for portions of the Florida's west coast.[7] On August 29, the Storm Prediction Center issued a Day 1 convective outlook highlighting a level 2/slight risk of severe weather for portions of Florida associated with Idalia, with the SPC also issuing a 5 percent tornado risk.[20] A Day 2 convective outlook was also issued concerning a level 2/slight risk and a 5 percent tornado risk for portions of Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina.[21] A moderate risk of excessive rainfall was also issued by the Weather Prediction Center, for the most of the same areas included in the Day 2 Convective outlook.[22] A tornado watch was issued for portions of western Florida on August 29, as bands of thunderstorms from Idalia moved inland.[23]

Amtrak terminated its two southbound Silver Service routes in Jacksonville, Florida on August 28 and cancelled both routes and its Auto Train service from August 29 to 30. The Palmetto route was truncated to Washington D.C. as well.[24]

Florida

On August 26, 33 Florida counties were placed under a state of emergency (SOE) by Governor Ron DeSantis.[25] Two days later, the governor declared 13 more counties, including some in Northeast Florida, under a SOE.[26] School districts across numerous counties in the state were to close, and 18 colleges, along with 6 universities, including University of South Florida, University of Central Florida, North Florida College, Florida State University, and University of Florida were to be closed starting August 29.[27][28][29][30] Emergency shelters were opened across the state, and the ports along Florida's west coast, including Port Tampa Bay, SeaPort Manatee, and Port of St. Petersburg, began clearing waterways and secured items.[31] The South Florida Water Management District and the Lake Worth Drainage District began draining water from canal systems.[32] The Howard Frankland Bridge began to secure barges.[33] Tampa International Airport , Sarasota–Bradenton International Airport, Tallahassee International Airport, and St. Pete–Clearwater International Airport closed to all commercial flights on August 29.[34][35][36] American Airlines suspended operations at Tampa, Sarasota, Tallahassee, and Gainesville airports.[37] An executive order declaring a local state of emergency was issued for the city of Tampa.[38] Mandatory evacuations began in Pinellas County on August 28.[39] Dry Tortugas National Park was closed in anticipation of the approaching tropical storm.[40] The USA's National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) "Silent Barker" mission by United Launch Alliance (ULA) from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station was put back from its intended 29 August launch date, with the Atlas V rocket taken back to the vertical integration facility (VIF).[41] The Federal Aviation Administration rerouted planes and closed Gulf routes, and the Urban Search and Rescue teams, consisting of nearly 600 search-and-rescue personnel, were activated in Florida.[42] At least 200 Starlink internet devices were deployed in preparation of service disruptions.[42]

The first rain band of Hurricane Idalia approaching Hudson Beach, Florida on August 29

At least 1,100 Florida National Guard members were mobilized, and 2,400 high-water vehicles, along with 12 aircraft, were also dispatched for recovery and rescue efforts.[43] The Florida Department of Law Enforcement was ready to deploy 25 law enforcement officers, two mobile staging units, one mobile command vehicle, and one operational command center, and to support the State Emergency Operations Center, which was activated in western Florida.[31] President Joe Biden approved an emergency declaration for Florida, and authorized the Federal Emergency Management Agency to coordinate with disaster relief efforts.[44][45]

Georgia

Georgia governor Brian Kemp declared a state of emergency and activated the state of emergency operations center on August 29.[46][47] School districts, including districts across Montgomery, Telfair, Toombs, and Wheeler counties, were closed.[48] Hurricane warnings were in effect for seven Georgia counties.[47] Atlanta Motor Speedway opened their campgrounds to hurricane evacuees free of charge.[49]

South Carolina

Governor Henry McMaster declared a state of emergency.[50] Congaree National Park was closed ahead of the approaching hurricane.[51]

North Carolina

Over 80 flights were canceled at Charlotte Douglas International Airport due to the approaching storm, mainly flights to and from Florida. Charlotte Motor Speedway opened their campgrounds to hurricane evacuees free of charge.[52]

Impact

Mexico

The storm brought heavy rainfall to the Yucatán Peninsula.[53]

Cuba

Flooding occurred in Güira de Melena and Guanimar, a small town south of Havana, and high winds hit Pinar del Río Province.[18][19] Rainfall reached 4 inches (100 mm) across portions of the country.[54]

United States

Flooding caused by storm surge in Tampa

At least 900 flights were cancelled across Florida and Georgia.[50]

Florida

As Idalia was nearing landfall on the morning of August 30, an extreme wind warning was issued for portions of the Gulf coast of Florida, including Steinhatchee and Perry.[55][56]

Damage occurred to buildings and infrastructure in Keaton Beach as Idalia made landfall.[57] Water levels near Cedar Key reached a record 6.8 feet (2.1 m), and the storm surge water level was at 8.9 feet (2.7 m).[29] Tampa Bay and Clearwater experienced over 3 feet (0.91 m) of storm surge.[58] US 41 bridges in Port Charlotte and Punta Gorda were closed due to flooding.[29] Waves crashed over the northbound side of the Howard Frankland Bridge, partially flooding the bridge.[59] Two men were killed in two different accidents while driving in hazardous conditions in Pasco and Alachua counties respectively.[60][61] In Hernando Beach, storm surge prevented firefighters from reaching an unoccupied house which caught fire, forcing neighbors to try to contain the fire with garden hoses to prevent the fire from spreading.[62]

At least 75 people were rescued from flooded areas near St. Petersburg.[63][64] The Governor Mansion in Tallahassee was struck by a falling oak tree, but no injuries or serious damage was reported.[65] A gas transmission line in Tallahassee gave out, forcing residents within a quarter-mile of it to evacuate.[66] Waves partially destroyed the balusters of Memorial Park in Jacksonville, which had been repaired following damage caused by Hurricane Irma just under six years earlier.[67]

At least 278,000 customers lost power and more than 200 flights were cancelled across several airlines in Florida.[68][36]

Georgia

A flash flood emergency was issued for the Valdosta area.[69] Downed power lines closed a portion of I-75 south of Valdosta.[50] One man was killed in Valdosta after a tree fell as the man attempted to clear a separate tree from the road.[70] American Airlines suspended operations at Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport,[37] and Hoboken Elementary School in Hoboken had portions of its roof ripped off.[71] A weak EF0 tornado passed west of Brunswick, damaging a traffic light and downing numerous trees.[72] Over 190,000 customers in Georgia lost power.[73]

South Carolina

A weak and brief tornado occurred in Goose Creek, South Carolina that flipped a car over at an intersection, as confirmed by the National Weather Service in Charleston.[74] Storm surge breached The Battery, a historical defensive seawall and promenade in Charleston, South Carolina, causing flooding in the downtown. Further south down the coast in Edisto Beach, a dune was also breached by storm surge, causing flooding within the town.[75]

Aftermath

United States

Florida

On August 30, 2023, Governor Ron DeSantis visited Perry and gave a press conference update on the state's response to the storm, where he spoke alongside several state and local officials.[76] President Joe Biden announced that the federal government would play a key role in assisting states affected by the storm and that he had spoken with DeSantis. Biden also reported that he had directed FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell to fly there and meet with the Florida governor and that up to 1,500 federal personnel as well as 900 members of the Coast Guard were being sent to respond to the hurricane's impacts.[77][78]
