Florida residents are evacuating from homes in low-lying areas as forecasters predict that Tropical Storm Idalia will hit as a major hurricane.
Hilary, the first tropical storm to hit Los Angeles in 84 years, was full of surprises, battering some Southern California areas but sparing others.“Once the storm surge comes in, help may not be available to reach you,” the county said in a public advisory.
Many school districts along the Gulf Coast said they would be closed Tuesday and Wednesday. Several colleges and universities said they would close their campuses Tuesday, including the University of Florida in Gainesville. MacDill Air Force Base, on Tampa Bay, is preparing to evacuate several aircraft and began a mandatory evacuation Monday morning for personnel who live in local counties, the Air Force said in a statement.
