Post to update Idalia related weather and event conditions around you. Hyper-local alerts, pictures, etc., and just check-in to let us know how you are.

Please stay safe. There are a few hurricanes I am not inclined to chase. Generally, this has more to do with things like terrain, roads, rivers, propensity for especially dangerous storm surge and flooding... For me, Idalia falls in this bucket. I skipped Katrina altogether, and kept a very safe distance from Harvey's exact landfall location, for two examples.

Currently it's 250 AM 30 August. I am in Tallahassee and the initial outer rain band hit earlier in the night. we're expecting the main bands to hit any time now. it's been too calm for what i know is coming. I fully expect to lose power, as purdham Generating station is 6 miles from the coast. and produces a large part of city power.

Will try to update as network and power are willing
