HURRICANE IDALIA – AUGUST 2023

Hurricane Idalia was a powerful and destructive Category 4 hurricane that caused significant damage across parts of the southeastern United States, especially in North Florida, in late August 2023. While weakening some at landfall to a Category 3 hurricane, Idalia still produced some of the most significant hurricane damage to the big bend area of Florida in modern history.
