On August 24, 2023, a trough of low pressure formed in the Eastern Pacific basin offshore of the Central America coast. [3] 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. [4] 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. [5] [6] 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). [7] Early the next morning, Idalia began moving northward [8] toward the Yucatán Channel west of Cuba, intensifying along the way despite being impacted by moderate northwesterly wind shear. [9]

By 09:00 UTC on August 29, after passing near the western tip of Cuba, Idalia had developed an inner core and almost complete eyewall and the NHC upgraded the storm to a Category 1 hurricane. [10] Later that day, Idalia began to rapidly intensify, reaching Category 2 strength [11] as it benefited from exceptional conditions, with sea-surface temperatures of 88 °F (31 °C), generally low wind shear, and high relative humidity levels. [12] Idalia continued to rapidly intensify as it accelerated northward off the Florida Suncoast and approached the Big Bend region, reaching its peak intensity of 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). [1] 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. At its peak, the NHC described the system as having "a small eye surrounded by very cold clouds tops, especially in the western quadrant". [13] Idalia's intensification was then halted by an eyewall replacement cycle, which caused it to weaken slightly prior to landfall. [14] 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 115 mph (185 km/h) and a minimum central pressure of 950 mbar (28.05 inHg). [1]

The system quickly weakened inland as it pushed through North Florida, becoming a tropical storm later that day after crossing into Georgia. [15] [16] 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. [17] That afternoon, Idalia transitioned into a post-tropical cyclone about 65 miles (105 km) southeast of Cape Hatteras, North Carolina. [18] As the storm moved to the east-southeast the following day, light wind shear along its path enabled the system to maintain its structure and intensity despite the lack of convection. [19] The storm impacted Bermuda with tropical-storm-force winds on September 2, as it passed just to the south. Idalia's remnant low then absorbed Tropical Storm Gert on September 4 [20] and lingered off the coast of Atlantic Canada for several days, before dissipating on September 8. [21]

Preparations

Cuba

More than 10,000 people were evacuated from Pinar del Río and Artemisa provinces. [22] Patients in Bahía Honda were evacuated to a local clinic after fearing flooding. [23]

On August 28, hurricane warnings and storm surge warnings were issued for portions of the Florida's west coast. [9] 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. [24] 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. [25] A moderate risk of excessive rainfall was also issued by the Weather Prediction Center, for most of the same areas included in the Day 2 Convective outlook. [26] A tornado watch was issued for portions of western Florida on August 29, as bands of thunderstorms from Idalia moved inland. [27]

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. [28] At least 900 flights were cancelled across Florida and Georgia. [29]

Florida

On August 26, 33  Florida counties were placed under a state of emergency (SOE) by Governor Ron DeSantis. [30] Two days later, the governor declared 13 more counties, including some in Northeast Florida, under a SOE. [31] 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. [32] [33] [34] [35] 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. [36] The South Florida Water Management District and the Lake Worth Drainage District began draining water from canal systems. [37] The Howard Frankland Bridge began to secure barges. [38] Tampa International Airport, Sarasota–Bradenton International Airport, Tallahassee International Airport, and St. Pete–Clearwater International Airport closed to all commercial flights on August 29. [39] [40] [41] American Airlines suspended operations at Tampa, Sarasota, Tallahassee, and Gainesville airports. [42] Canaveral National Seashore was shut down ahead of the hurricane. [43] An executive order declaring a local state of emergency was issued for the city of Tampa. [44] Mandatory evacuations began in Pinellas County on August 28. [45] Dry Tortugas National Park was closed in anticipation of the approaching tropical storm. [46] 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 August 29 launch date, with the Atlas V rocket taken back to the vertical integration facility (VIF). [47] 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. [48] At least 200 Starlink internet devices were deployed in preparation of service disruptions. [48]

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. [49] 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. [36] President Joe Biden approved an emergency declaration for Florida, and authorized the Federal Emergency Management Agency to coordinate with disaster relief efforts. [50] [51]

Elsewhere

Georgia Governor Brian Kemp declared a state of emergency and activated the state of emergency operations center on August 29. [52] [53] School districts, including districts across Montgomery, Telfair, Toombs, and Wheeler counties, were closed. [54] Hurricane warnings were in effect for seven Georgia counties. [53] Atlanta Motor Speedway opened their campgrounds to hurricane evacuees free of charge. [55] South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster declared a state of emergency on August 30. [29] Congaree National Park was closed ahead of the approaching hurricane. [56] Charleston International Airport suspended service from 6pm on August 30 to 8am on August 31. [57] Over 80 flights were canceled at Charlotte Douglas International Airport in North Carolina due to the approaching storm, mainly flights to and from Florida. Charlotte Motor Speedway opened their campgrounds to hurricane evacuees free of charge. [58]

Bermuda

A tropical storm watch was issued for Bermuda on August 30; [18] this was later changed to a warning as the storm moved closer. This occurred just days after Hurricane Franklin produced tropical storm force winds to the island. [59]

Impact

Caribbean

The storm brought heavy rainfall to the Yucatán Peninsula. [60] As Idalia became a tropical storm, Cayman Islands were lashed with rough seas, waves up to 6 feet (1.8 m). [61] The islands also received cooler weather. [62] Flooding occurred in Güira de Melena and Guanimar in Cuba, and high winds hit Pinar del Río Province. [22] [23] Rainfall reached 4 inches (100 mm) across portions of the country. [63]

As of September 25, assessed damage reached $704.1 million across Florida and Georgia. In Florida, at least 21,252 insurance claims were made with losses totaling $216.1 million. [64] Agricultural losses reached $447 million in the state. [65] Damage in Georgia exceeded $41 million. [66] Estimates of total damage across the Southeastern United States vary widely from various insurance companies and catastrophe modelers. Early calculations showed possibilities of damage exceeding $9 billion and potentially reaching $20 billion, [67] [68] though these tempered as time passed. On September 4, Moody's Analytics reported private insured losses at $3–5 billion with a "best estimate" of $3.5 billion. They indicated losses attached to the National Flood Insurance Program would reach $500 million. Verisk Analytics placed the same metric at $2.5–4 billion. Karen Clark & Co. estimated losses at $2.2 billion on September 1. [69] Of this, $2 billion was from wind-related damage and $210 million from storm surge. [70] Regularly improving building codes across Florida are attributed with lesser damage as structures are more able to withstand the effects of hurricanes. Homes built on stilts and with properly secured roofs suffered minimal damage while older structures were severely affected. [71]

At least twelve people were killed in incidents related to the hurricane: four in Florida, three in New Jersey and North Carolina, and one each in Delaware and Georgia. [1] [72] [73] [74] [75] [76] [77] [78] [79]

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. [80] [81]

Idalia made landfall in Keaton Beach, with sustained winds of 115 mph (185 km/h), causing severe damage in the area. [82] Water levels near Cedar Key reached 6.8 ft (2.1 m), and the storm surge water level was at 8.9 feet (2.7 m). [34] Tampa Bay and Clearwater experienced over 3 ft (0.91 m) of storm surge. [83] US 41 bridges in Port Charlotte and Punta Gorda were closed due to flooding. [34] Waves crashed over the northbound side of the Howard Frankland Bridge, partially flooding the bridge. [84] Across Pasco County, an estimated 2,000 homes were damaged as up to 5 ft (1.5 m) of water inundated structures. Roughly 150 people required rescue during the storm. [85] Two men were killed in traffic accidents while driving in hazardous conditions in Pasco and Alachua counties respectively. [72] [73] 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. [86]

At least 75 people were rescued from flooded areas near St. Petersburg. [87] [88] The Governor's Mansion in Tallahassee was struck by a falling oak tree, but no injuries or serious damage was reported. [89] A gas transmission line in Tallahassee gave out, forcing residents within a quarter-mile of it to evacuate. [90] 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. [91] Off of Merritt Island, a man went missing while windsurfing in the Banana River and his body was found on September 2. Because he drowned while the area was under a tropical storm warning, it has been classified as a hurricane-related death. [74]

At least 278,000 customers lost power and more than 200 flights were cancelled across several airlines in Florida. [92] [41]

On September 5, a man in Dixie County was killed while clearing debris with a tractor when he was struck by a falling tree. [75]

A flash flood emergency was issued for the Valdosta area. [93] Downed power lines closed a portion of I-75 south of Valdosta. [29] One man was killed in Valdosta after a tree fell as the man helped two sheriff's deputies clear debris from a road. [76] [94] Rainfall in the Valdosta area reached 5.5 in (140 mm). [95] In addition, I-75 in the Valdosta area was shut down. [96] American Airlines suspended operations at Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport, [42] and Hoboken Elementary School in Hoboken had portions of its roof ripped off. [97] A weak EF0 tornado passed west of Brunswick, damaging a traffic light and downing numerous trees. An EF1 tornado then struck the town minutes later, throwing a tree branch through the windshield of a pickup truck, blowing the top off of a storage shed, knocking down a small billboard, and snapping or uprooting numerous trees. Another short-lived EF1 tornado to the east of Brunswick in St. Simons also snapped and uprooted trees. An additional short-lived EF0 tornado occurred northwest of Fleming as well. [98] Over 190,000 customers in Georgia lost power. [99] In Bulloch County, four county roads were severely damaged by more than 8 in (200 mm) of rain causing flooding throughout the county. Bulloch's Public Works and Transportation Director, Dink Butler, who is responsible for overseeing county roads, estimated the cost of damages to be at $360,080. [100]

South Carolina

A very brief EF0 tornado in Goose Creek flipped a car on US 52, injuring two people. [98] [101] Four other tornadoes struck the state as well. An EF1 tornado struck a wooded area northeast of Turbeville, while an EF0 tornado moved southeast through Mount Pleasant, causing minor damage and crossed over Wando High School. [102] [103] The Francis Marion National Forest was struck by an EF1 tornado which left trees uprooted and snapped. [104] [98] In North Myrtle Beach, a waterspout came ashore as an EF0 tornado and caused damage to a neighborhood. [105] Storm surge breached The Battery, a historical defensive seawall and promenade in Charleston, 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. [106]

Beginning on September 3, heavy rains from Idalia in the Midlands began flooding low-lying areas along the Edisto and Combahee rivers in Colleton and Dorchester counties, with water levels peaking at 14.5 feet (4.4 m) at a river gauge at Givhans Ferry State Park. [107] The flooding caused one person to be rescued from a home in Givhans. [108] [109]

North Carolina

Three tornadoes struck the state. An EF0 tornado damaged a veterinary hospital and two other buildings in St. James. An EF1 tornado struck a wooded area in Old Town, while in Myrtle Grove, a waterspout moved ashore and became an EF1 tornado, damaging two buildings and causing a tree to fall on an SUV, injuring the driver. [110] One person drowned due to rip currents along the coast of Avon on September 4. [79]

Elsewhere

Rip currents produced by the remnants of Idalia across the Eastern United States resulted in numerous rescues. Beaches were packed with people enjoying the Labor Day Weekend. One person drowned off Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, on September 3. [78] At least a dozen people required rescue along the New Jersey coast. Three people died in the state on September 4: one in Beach Haven, one in Belmar, and the third in Seaside Heights. [77] [111]

Idalia was also associated with an unusual movement of American Flamingos, with a large number of flamingos seen in Florida, and flamingos seen as far north as Ohio and Pennsylvania. [112]

Bermuda

On September 2, the Department of Marine and Ports Services announced that ferries were suspended until weather conditions improved, BELCO announced that Idalia had caused over 6,000 power outages, and the Department of Public Transportation announced the temporary suspension of bus services. [113] Idalia also caused all flights to and from L.F. Wade International Airport and North America to be cancelled or delayed on September 2, with some flights also being affected the following day. [114]

United States

On August 31, 2023, President Joe Biden said that he had spoken to Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and other governors about Idalia and that he had approved of their requests for disaster and emergency declarations. [115]

Florida

On August 30, 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. [116] President Biden announced that he had directed FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell to fly to Florida and meet with DeSantis 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. [117] [118]

On September 2, President Biden, First Lady Jill Biden, and FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell, landed at Gainesville Regional Airport before embarking on an aerial tour of affected areas within the state. Biden then visited Suwannee Pineview Elementary School in Live Oak where he was briefed on the damage caused by the storm. Biden met with residents of Live Oak as well as Live Oak Mayor Frank Davis and Senator Rick Scott among other officials. [119]

FEMA opened up six temporary Disaster and Recovery Centers across Dixie, Levy, Hamilton, Suwannee, Madison, and Lafayette counties. [120] Fourteen counties; Citrus, Columbia, Dixie, Gilchrist, Hamilton, Hernando, Jefferson, Lafayette, Levy, Madison, Pasco, Pinellas, Suwannee, and Taylor, were made eligible for Individual, Critical Needs, Clean and Sanitize, and Disaster Unemployment Assistance. [121]

The Small Business Administration made available Business Physical Disaster, Economic Injury Disaster, and Home Disaster loans available to Citrus, Columbia, Dixie, Gilchrist, Hamilton, Hernando, Jefferson, Lafayette, Levy, Madison, Pasco, Pinellas, Suwannee, and Taylor counties. Meanwhile, Alachua, Baker, Hillsborough, Leon, Marion, Polk, Sumter, Union, and Wakulla counties were only eligible for Economic Injury Disaster loans. [122]

The hurricane began an apparent American Flamingo population boom within the state, as wildlife experts believe many of the birds that were brought from the Caribbean and Yucatán Peninsula into the United States by Idalia's winds did not leave the state like they did in other parts of the country and instead settled down. While flamingos are native to South Florida, they have not existed in significant numbers since the 19th century, when hunting drove them out of the state, but according to Audubon who conducted a census on the flamingo population in February, finding 101 birds, they have a chance to reassert themselves in Florida. [123] [124] [125]

Georgia

On September 1, Governor Brian Kemp toured Valdosta with Georgia First Lady Marty Kemp and other state officials to survey damage from Idalia. While in Valdosta, Georgia Emergency Management and Homeland Security Agency Director Chris Stallings announced that the state had requested federal assistance from FEMA for the clean-up efforts within the state. [94]

The SBA declared Cook, Glynn, and Lowndes counties eligible for Physical and Economic Injury Disaster Loans due being approved federal disaster relief funds from FEMA due to President Biden approving a major disaster declaration for the counties, which also made those counties eligible for Individual and Public Assistance from FEMA. [126] [127] Meanwhile, Berrien, Brooks, Camden, Colquitt, Echols, Lanier, McIntosh, Tift, and Wayne counties were made eligible to apply only for Economic Injury Disaster Loans. [128] The United States Department of Agriculture has also approved of financial aid to farmers in Berrien County with crop damage. [129]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Hurricane Georges</span> Category 4 Atlantic hurricane in 1998

Hurricane Georges was a powerful and long-lived tropical cyclone which caused severe destruction as it traversed the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico in September 1998, making seven landfalls along its path. Georges was the seventh tropical storm, fourth hurricane, and second major hurricane of the 1998 Atlantic hurricane season. It became the most destructive storm of the season, the costliest Atlantic hurricane since Hurricane Andrew in 1992 and remained the costliest until Hurricane Charley in 2004, and the deadliest since Hurricane Gordon in 1994. Georges killed 615 people, mainly on the island of Hispaniola, caused extensive damage resulting in just under $10 billion in damages and leaving nearly 500,000 people homeless in St. Kitts and Nevis, Puerto Rico, Hispaniola and Cuba.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Hurricane Charley</span> Category 4 Atlantic hurricane in 2004

Hurricane Charley was the first of four separate hurricanes to impact or strike Florida during 2004, along with Frances, Ivan and Jeanne, as well as one of the strongest hurricanes ever to strike the United States. It was the third named storm, the second hurricane, and the second major hurricane of the 2004 Atlantic hurricane season. Charley lasted from August 9 to 15, and at its peak intensity it attained 150 mph (240 km/h) winds, making it a strong Category 4 hurricane on the Saffir–Simpson scale. It made landfall in Southwest Florida at maximum strength, making it the strongest hurricane to hit the United States since Hurricane Andrew struck Florida in 1992 and tied with Hurricane Ian as the strongest hurricane to hit southwest Florida in recorded history.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Hurricane Dennis</span> Category 4 Atlantic hurricane in 2005

Hurricane Dennis was a deadly and destructive tropical cyclone that briefly held the record for the strongest Atlantic hurricane ever to form before August. Dennis was the fourth named storm of the record-breaking 2005 Atlantic hurricane season. It originated on July 4 near the Windward Islands from a tropical wave. Dennis intensified into a hurricane on July 6 as it moved across the Caribbean Sea. Two days later, it became a strong Category 4 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson scale before striking Cuba twice on July 8. After weakening over land, Dennis re-intensified in the Gulf of Mexico, attaining its lowest barometric pressure of 930 mbar (27 inHg) on July 10. That day, Dennis weakened slightly before making a final landfall on Santa Rosa Island, Florida as a Category 3 hurricane. Six days later, Dennis's record intensity was surpassed by Hurricane Emily. After moving through the central United States, the circulation associated with former Hurricane Dennis dissipated on July 18 over Ontario.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Hurricane Rita</span> Category 5 Atlantic hurricane in 2005

Hurricane Rita was the most intense tropical cyclone on record in the Gulf of Mexico and the fourth-most intense Atlantic hurricane ever recorded. Part of the record-breaking 2005 Atlantic hurricane season, which included three of the top ten most intense Atlantic hurricanes in terms of barometric pressure ever recorded, Rita was the seventeenth named storm, tenth hurricane, and fifth major hurricane of the 2005 season. It was also the earliest-forming 17th named storm in the Atlantic until Tropical Storm Rene in 2020. Rita formed near The Bahamas from a tropical wave on September 18, 2005, that originally developed off the coast of West Africa. It moved westward, and after passing through the Florida Straits, Rita entered an environment of abnormally warm waters. Moving west-northwest, it rapidly intensified to reach peak winds of 180 mph (285 km/h), achieving Category 5 status on September 21. However, it weakened to a Category 3 hurricane before making landfall in Johnson's Bayou, Louisiana, between Sabine Pass, Texas and Holly Beach, Louisiana, with winds of 115 mph (185 km/h). Rapidly weakening over land, Rita degenerated into a large low-pressure area over the lower Mississippi Valley by September 26.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Hurricane Erin (1995)</span> Category 2 Atlantic hurricane in 1995

Hurricane Erin was the first hurricane to strike the contiguous United States since Hurricane Andrew in 1992. The fifth tropical cyclone, fifth named storm, and second hurricane of the unusually active 1995 Atlantic hurricane season, Erin developed from a tropical wave near the southeastern Bahamas on July 31. Moving northwestward, the cyclone intensified into a Category 1 hurricane on the Saffir–Simpson scale near Rum Cay about 24 hours later. After a brief jog to the north-northwest on August 1, Erin began moving to the west-northwest. The cyclone then moved over the northwestern Bahamas, including the Abaco Islands and Grand Bahama. Early on August 2, Erin made landfall near Vero Beach, Florida, with winds of 85 mph (137 km/h). The hurricane weakened while crossing the Florida peninsula and fell to tropical storm intensity before emerging into the Gulf of Mexico later that day.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Hurricane Gordon (2000)</span> Category 1 Atlantic hurricane in 2000

Hurricane Gordon caused minor damage in the Eastern United States. The seventh named storm and fourth hurricane of the 2000 Atlantic hurricane season, Gordon developed in the extreme western Caribbean Sea from a tropical wave on September 14. Shortly thereafter, the depression moved inland over the Yucatán Peninsula and later emerged into the Gulf of Mexico on September 15. The depression began to quickly organize, and by early on September 16, it was upgraded to Tropical Storm Gordon. After becoming a tropical storm, Gordon continued to intensify and was reclassified as a hurricane about 24 hours later; eventually, the storm peaked as an 80 mph (130 km/h) Category 1 hurricane. However, southwesterly upper-level winds caused Gordon to weaken as it approached land, and it was downgraded to a tropical storm by late on September 17. At 0300 UTC on September 18, Gordon made landfall near Cedar Key, Florida as a strong tropical storm. After moving inland, Gordon rapidly weakened and had deteriorated to tropical depression status by nine hours later. Later that day, Gordon merged with a frontal boundary while centered over Georgia.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Hurricane Earl (1998)</span> Category 2 Atlantic hurricane in 1998

Hurricane Earl was an atypical, disorganized, and short-lived Category 2 hurricane that caused moderate damage throughout the Southeast United States. It formed out of a poorly organized tropical disturbance over the southwest Gulf of Mexico late on August 31, 1998. Tracking towards the northeast, the storm quickly intensified into a hurricane on September 2 and made landfall early the next day near Panama City, Florida. Rapidly tracking towards Atlantic Canada, the extratropical remnants of Earl significantly intensified before passing over Newfoundland on September 6. The remnants were absorbed by former Hurricane Danielle two days later.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Tropical Storm Bill (2003)</span> Atlantic tropical cyclone

Tropical Storm Bill was a tropical storm that affected the Gulf Coast of the United States in the summer of 2003. The second storm of the 2003 Atlantic hurricane season, Bill developed from a tropical wave on June 29 to the north of the Yucatán Peninsula. It slowly organized as it moved northward, and reached a peak of 60 miles per hour (97 km/h) shortly before making landfall in south-central Louisiana. Bill quickly weakened over land, and as it accelerated to the northeast, moisture from the storm, combined with cold air from an approaching cold front, produced an outbreak of 34 tornadoes. Bill became extratropical on July 2, and was absorbed by the cold front later that day.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Hurricane Andrew</span> Category 5 Atlantic hurricane in 1992

Hurricane Andrew was a tropical cyclone that struck the Bahamas, Florida, and Louisiana in August 1992. It is the most destructive hurricane to ever hit Florida in terms of structures damaged or destroyed, and remained the costliest in financial terms until Hurricane Irma surpassed it 25 years later. Andrew was also the strongest landfalling hurricane in the United States in decades and the costliest hurricane to strike anywhere in the country, until it was surpassed by Katrina in 2005.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Hurricane Hermine</span> Category 1 Atlantic hurricane in 2016

Hurricane Hermine was the first hurricane to make landfall in Florida since Hurricane Wilma in 2005, and the first to develop in the Gulf of Mexico since Hurricane Ingrid in 2013. The ninth tropical depression, eighth named storm, and fourth hurricane of the 2016 Atlantic hurricane season, Hermine developed in the Florida Straits on August 28 from a long-tracked tropical wave. The precursor system dropped heavy rainfall in portions of the Caribbean, especially the Dominican Republic and Cuba. In the former, the storm damaged more than 200 homes and displaced over 1,000 people. Although some areas of Cuba recorded more than 12 in (300 mm) of rain, the precipitation was generally beneficial due to a severe drought. After being designated on August 29, Hermine shifted northeastwards due to a trough over Georgia and steadily intensified into an 80 mph (130 km/h) Category 1 hurricane just before making landfall in the Florida Panhandle during September 2. After moving inland, Hermine quickly weakened and transitioned into an extratropical cyclone on September 3 near the Outer Banks of North Carolina. The remnant system meandered offshore the Northeastern United States before dissipating over southeastern Massachusetts on September 8.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Hurricane Michael</span> Category 5 Atlantic hurricane in 2018

Hurricane Michael was a powerful and destructive tropical cyclone that became the first Category 5 hurricane to make landfall in the contiguous United States since Andrew in 1992. It was the third-most intense Atlantic hurricane to make landfall in the contiguous United States in terms of pressure, behind the 1935 Labor Day hurricane and Hurricane Camille in 1969. Michael was the first Category 5 hurricane on record to impact the Florida Panhandle, the fourth-strongest landfalling hurricane in the contiguous United States in terms of wind speed, and the most intense hurricane on record to strike the United States in the month of October.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Tropical Storm Fred (2021)</span> Atlantic tropical storm

Tropical Storm Fred was a tropical cyclone which affected much of the Greater Antilles and the Southeastern United States in August 2021. The sixth tropical storm of the 2021 Atlantic hurricane season, Fred originated from a tropical wave first noted by the National Hurricane Center on August 4. As the wave drifted westward, advisories were initiated on the wave as a potential tropical cyclone by August 9 as it was approaching the Leeward Islands. Entering the Eastern Caribbean Sea after a close pass to Dominica by the next day, the potential tropical cyclone continued northwestward. By August 11, the disturbance had formed into Tropical Storm Fred just south of Puerto Rico, shortly before hitting the Dominican Republic on the island of Hispaniola later that day. The storm proceeded to weaken to a tropical depression over the highly mountainous island, before emerging north of the Windward Passage on August 12. The disorganized tropical depression turned to the west and made a second landfall in Northern Cuba on August 13. After having its circulation continuously disrupted by land interaction and wind shear, the storm degenerated into a tropical wave as it was turning northward near the western tip of Cuba the following day. Continuing north, the remnants of Fred quickly re-organized over the Gulf of Mexico, regenerating into a tropical storm by August 15. Fred continued towards the Florida Panhandle and swiftly intensified to a strong 65 mph (105 km/h) tropical storm before making landfall late on August 16 and moving into the state of Georgia. Afterward, Fred continued moving north-northeastward, before degenerating into an extratropical low on August 18. Fred's remnants later turned eastward, and the storm's remnants dissipated on August 20, near the coast of Massachusetts.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Hurricane Ian</span> Category 5 Atlantic hurricane in 2022

Hurricane Ian was a devastating tropical cyclone which was the third costliest weather disaster on record worldwide, the deadliest hurricane to strike the state of Florida since the 1935 Labor Day hurricane, and the strongest hurricane to make landfall in Florida since Michael in 2018. Ian caused widespread damage across western Cuba, Florida, and the Carolinas. Ian was the ninth named storm, fourth hurricane, and second major hurricane of the 2022 Atlantic hurricane season, and was the first Category 5 hurricane in the Atlantic since Lorenzo in 2019.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Hurricane Nicole (2022)</span> Category 1 Atlantic hurricane

Hurricane Nicole was a sprawling late-season Category 1 hurricane in November 2022. The fourteenth named storm and eighth hurricane of the 2022 Atlantic hurricane season, Nicole formed as a subtropical cyclone on November 7, from a non-tropical area of low pressure near the Greater Antilles, and transitioned into a tropical cyclone the next day. Then, taking a path similar to that of Hurricane Dorian three years earlier, Nicole made landfall on November 9, on Great Abaco and on Grand Bahama in The Bahamas, where it strengthened into a Category 1 hurricane. On November 10, it made landfall twice in Florida, south of Vero Beach and then northwest of Cedar Key, after briefly emerging over the Gulf of Mexico. Nicole then weakened to a depression while moving over the Florida Panhandle, and then was absorbed into a mid-latitude trough and cold front over extreme eastern Tennessee the following day.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Effects of Hurricane Ian in Florida</span>

Hurricane Ian caused severe damage in Florida in September 2022, becoming the costliest hurricane in state history. Ian also became the deadliest hurricane in Florida since the 1935 Labor Day hurricane.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Hurricane Debby (2024)</span> Category 1 Atlantic hurricane

Hurricane Debby was a slow-moving and erratic Category 1 hurricane that caused widespread flooding across the Southeastern United States in early August 2024. The fourth named storm and second hurricane of the 2024 Atlantic hurricane season, Debby developed from a tropical wave that was first noted by the National Hurricane Center (NHC) on July 26. After crossing the Greater Antilles, the system began to organize over Cuba and was designated a potential tropical cyclone on August 2. After exiting off the southern coast of Cuba, the disturbance organized into a tropical depression early on August 3.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Hurricane Helene</span> Category 4 Atlantic hurricane in 2024

Hurricane Helene was a devastating tropical cyclone that caused widespread destruction and fatalities across the Southeastern United States in late September 2024. It was the strongest hurricane on record to strike the Big Bend region of Florida, the deadliest Atlantic hurricane since Maria in 2017, and the deadliest to strike the mainland U.S. since Katrina in 2005.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Hurricane Milton</span> Category 5 Atlantic hurricane in 2024

Hurricane Milton was an extremely powerful and devastating tropical cyclone which became the second-most intense Atlantic hurricane ever recorded over the Gulf of Mexico, behind only Hurricane Rita in 2005. Milton made landfall on the west coast of the U.S. state of Florida, less than two weeks after Hurricane Helene devastated the state's Big Bend region. The thirteenth named storm, ninth hurricane, fourth major hurricane, and second Category 5 hurricane of the 2024 Atlantic hurricane season, Milton is the strongest tropical cyclone worldwide in 2024 so far.
