Idalia's Impact: Storm's Wrath Felt Across Florida and North Carolina

TL;DR Summary
Hurricane Idalia has weakened to a post-tropical cyclone and is moving out to sea after causing one death in Florida. President Joe Biden plans to visit the damaged areas, while Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is uncertain if he will meet with Biden. Cleanup efforts are underway in Florida, where the storm made landfall as a Category 3 hurricane, leaving behind damaged homes and flooded roads. Idalia is still capable of destruction as it heads towards Bermuda. South Carolina also experienced tornadoes and flooding, while Citrus County in Florida was fortunate to avoid major damage. The storm split a century-old oak tree at the Florida governor's mansion.
