As Tropical Storm Idalia sets its sights on the Sunshine State, residents in Fort Lauderdale are taking precautionary measures to prepare for the anticipated heavy rainfall and possible flooding. The storm is projected to intensify into a Category Two hurricane by the time it makes landfall along the Gulf Coast later this week.
Governor Ron DeSantis of Florida provided updates on the state’s readiness in the face of the approaching storm.
“In terms of resources, we have mobilized 1,100 National Guardsmen and they have at their disposal 2,400 high-water vehicles as well as 12 aircraft that can be used for rescue and recovery efforts,” Gov. DeSantis stated.
