   My four year old grandson #GS3 is watching #Hurricane #Idalia as it smashes into #FL. He has a personal link: his other grandparents live in #Florida.

     The area where they live was okay. They got some rain and wind, but not enough to be damaging.

     I saw a report that some areas along the Gulf Coast could get 12-16 feet / 3-4 meters of seawater above normally dry ground. That’s enough to saturate ground floor living areas in homes and apartments, and in some cases, to put 1-2 feet of water in second level living areas.
     
     I have not seen casualty figures, but I would not be surprised if many people who stayed in those areas perished.
