The Gist:
Idalia, now a category one hurricane, is set to bring deteriorating weather conditions to Georgia, escalating from today through Wednesday.
What Happened?
Initially a tropical storm, Idalia has been upgraded to a category one hurricane in the Gulf of Mexico. The storm is expected to bring heavy rains, flash floods, and wind damage. Just yesterday, the storm was predicted to bring torrential rain and localized flooding, especially in low-lying areas.
Why It Matters:
The primary concern here is flash flooding, especially in low-lying areas. If you’re in southeast Georgia, you’re in for the worst of it by Wednesday. It’s not just water; wind damage is also on the menu.
What’s Next?
As Idalia nears, expect the worst of it to hit southeast Georgia by Wednesday. If you live in that neck of the woods, now would be a good time to review your flood safety plans.
