DESANTIS PRAISES HURRICANE RESPONSE, ‘CAUTIOUSLY OPTIMISTIC’ FOR LESS DEVASTATION THAN 2022’S IAN
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Idalia’s force was felt long after it made landfall, remaining a hurricane as it moved into northern Florida, Georgia and the Carolinas, dropping 8 to 10 inches of rain across much of the region before exiting back into the Atlantic.
Due to this, the Red Cross is carefully working across state and county lines to ensure no community impacted is missed.
Responders are driving across large swaths of geography and working with local community leaders to identify portions of their community that are most vulnerable. Tornadoes, flash flooding, water surge and hurricane force winds have impacted more than 30 counties across four states.

There is also a fear that many impacted residents are remaining in their homes, no matter the level of damage, out of fear of looting.
The QR code will also appear on-screen throughout FOX News' coverage of the hurricane for viewers to scan and then be directed to FOX Forward Red Cross.
