Hurricane Idalia is expected to make landfall by 8 a.m. Wednesday as the Category 4 hurricane makes its way to the Big Bend region of Florida’s Gulf Coast, Gov. Ron DeSantis said.

“We are going to have the full landfall impacts very, very shortly, within the next couple hours, most likely probably by 0800,” DeSantis said during a press conference early Wednesday morning. “It’s going to make landfall on Florida’s Big Bend. So, please hunker down wherever you are, don’t mess with this storm. Don’t do anything that’s going to put yourself in jeopardy, and there will be a lot of help coming on the back end of this storm, and we’re ready to go.”

The power appeared to go out twice during the governor’s update from his location at the Emergency Operations Center in Tallahassee, as Idalia intensified into a Category 4 hurricane with winds near 130 miles per hour. DeSantis warned that the storm will have “significant impact.”

“We currently have 54,000 households that are out of power throughout the state of Florida, but there have been over 100,000 households that have already been restored through hard work all through the night,” DeSantis said.
