Hurricane Idalia to become a Category 4 storm as it closes in on Florida | Oneindia News

Hurricane Idalia strengthened over the Gulf of Mexico yesterday as it headed towards Florida's Gulf Coast, forcing evacuations in low-lying coastal areas, while South Carolina went into a state of emergency.

Idalia grew from a tropical storm into a hurricane early yesterday, a day after passing west of Cuba, where it damaged homes and flooded villages.

Idalia is in line to become the fourth major hurricane to hit Florida in the last seven years, after Irma in 2017, Michael in 2018 and Ian, which peaked at Category 5, in September 2022.
