Idalia's Wrath: Devastation and Damage in Cedar Key and Pinellas County
TL;DR Summary
Hurricane Idalia caused record-high storm surge, flooding much of Cedar Key, Florida, a small island town known as a haven for artists and writers. The storm lifted and tossed old homes into the Gulf, inundated the waterfront commercial district, and left the town without power, water, and sewage. Despite the destruction, there were no reported injuries or loss of life due to early warnings and a mandatory evacuation order. The community is now focused on cleaning up and rebuilding.
