Dear Friend,

Yesterday morning, Hurricane Idalia made landfall on Florida's Gulf Coast as a Category 3 hurricane, submerging neighborhoods and leaving a trail of debris as it thrashed its way across southern Georgia. With 125-mph winds, Florida’s Big Bend area received wide-spread power outages, flooding and wind damage. The storm continued traveling to the southeast corner of Georgia as a Category 2 hurricane with flooding, downed trees, and power outages being reported in Valdosta, Georgia and the surrounding counties. While rescue efforts continue in the impacted regions, authorities have confirmed only one death so far. This morning, Tropical Storm Idalia descended on the Carolinas on its way out to the Atlantic Ocean.
