After a natural disaster, a variety of resources become available to aid in the cleanup process, including FEMA financial assistance.

Parts of Florida will likely see an increase in the rain and wind this weekend as disturbed weather may turn into a tropical system.

A little over two weeks after Hurricane Idalia moved through Florida’s Big Bend region, extensive clean-up efforts are ongoing.

In a typical Atlantic Ocean hurricane season, from late August to mid-September is the busiest time for tropical storms and hurricanes.

Hurricane Idalia made landfall as a Category 3 Major Hurricane with sustained winds of 125 MPH near Keaton Beach, Florida at 7:45 EDT.

Idalila formed into a hurricane and is expected to make landfall in Florida north of the Tampa Bay area as a Category 3 hurricane.

The National Hurricane Center is now forecasting Idalia to be a major category 3 hurricane at landfall early Wednesday.

Tropical Depression Ten has now intensified into Tropical Storm Idalia. The NHC is forecasting landfall in Florida as a Category 1 hurricane.

A tropical weather system may evolve and push into the northwest Caribbean this weekend, then possibly the Gulf next week.

The Southeast Regional Climate Center is predicting that more heat records may be broken again this month in Florida.
