Last-minute preparations and evacuations are underway in Florida as Hurricane Idalia is expected to hit the Gulf Coast Wednesday morning as a Category 4 hurricane with storm surges expected to be as high as eleven feet in some areas, CNN reports.
Officials have urged the remaining residents to evacuate counties in the storm’s path, warning them that rescue operations may not help if the storm surges reach as high as expected. Adding to the surge: the wrath of God. No, really: there will be a supermoon Wednesday, at its closest point to Earth. Because God hates Florida.
