Hurricane Debby’s center made landfall near Steinhatchee, Fla., at around 7 a.m. ET Monday, bringing not only sustained winds of 80 mph but also a dire threat of flooding to the Gulf Coast and beyond. Debby came ashore about five miles west of Steinhatchee, which sits along the state's Big Bend region — where Florida's panhandle and peninsula meet. As of 11 a.m., the storm’s center was about 80 miles east of Tallahassee.
DeSantis said the state began to feel the impacts from Debby on Sunday evening and throughout Monday morning. The storm has produced flooding along Florida’s west coast from Sarasota to the northern part of the state. More than 300,000 utility customers in Florida were without power early Monday afternoon. Without electricity many homes will be too hot to live in and may need roof repairs, and more.

Heavy rainfall will swamp South Florida for a third day in a row on Thursday, threatening more destructive flooding after Wednesday’s storms transformed roads into canals and caused water to seep into homes.
Part of South Florida – including Miami – is under a rare level 4 of 4 high risk of flooding rainfall Thursday, according to the Weather Prediction Center.
“Significant flash flooding (is) expected over urban areas, (with) locally catastrophic flash flooding possible.
High risk days are exceedingly rare — happening on fewer than 4% of days each year on average — but account for more than 80% of all flood damage and more than a third of all flood deaths in the US.
Flooding threats will ramp up again quickly once rain starts to fall Thursday afternoon. More than 8 million people are under flood alerts Thursday, including Fort Lauderdale, Miami and Naples. Another 4 to 8 inches of widespread rain is expected through Friday, but it’s possible some spots record nearly a foot of rain.
Six to more than 20 inches of rain has deluged South Florida since Tuesday morning, prompting Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis to declare a state of emergency for Broward, Collier, Lee, Miami-Dade and Sarasota counties. While the state is no stranger to drenching rain, heavy rain events are getting even heavier as the world warms due to fossil fuel pollution.
Ongoing flooding resulting from past rainfall is one of the main reasons the flood risk is so high Thursday.
Floodwaters haven’t had time to fully recede and some communities in and north of the Miami metro remained underwater Thursday morning, areal imagery showed.
That was the case in Hallandale Beach – located just north of Miami – where nearly 20 inches of rain had fallen, and some mobile home parks were still underwater, said Broward County Sheriff’s Office Fire Rescue Battalion Chief Michael Kane.
Severe flooding there on Wednesday submerged cars up to their windshields, forcing some drivers to abandon their stalled-out vehicles and wade to safety. Others had to be rescued.

Opulent Philanthropy Inc. - Supporting Florida
Our organization is committed to helping the people of Florida when the hurricane make land. We will be providing disaster relief to the communities damaged by the hurricane. We are ready to provide shelter, food, and water. Hurricane Idalia made landfall on Florida’s western coast as a powerful Category 3 storm. It's the strongest storm to make landfall in the Big Bend region in more than 125 years. More than 99,000 customers were without power in Florida on Wednesday morning as Hurricane Idalia closed in on the Sunshine State. Hurricane Idalia has strengthened to a category 2 storm with some parts of Florida already feeling the effects of the storm system, which is expected to become a powerful Category 3 hurricane before making landfall Wednesday. Idalia's landfall strength and storm surge could reach once-in-a-lifetime levels along parts of Florida's Big Bend and Tampa Bay areas.

Support Victims of Hurricane Ian Florida
Disaster Relief
We are working to assist those affected, but there is a dire need for shelter, food, and water due to the rising number of displaced families. Florida has 33,000 people in shelters, and need 5.5 million meals, and 6.6 liters of clean drinking water. The city of Fort Myers Beach on Florida's southwest coast was leveled by Hurricane Ian, two-thirds down the island, and I'd say 90% of the island is pretty much gone, where homes stood, there's only rubble. Hurricane Ian tossed large boats around like they were "toys" in Florida. The hurricane left millions of people without power and a trail of destruction across Florida as it trapped hundreds of locals inside their flooded homes. Cape Coral reporting significant damage to homes and buildings. Calls that have been coming in are from people still in their homes who have experienced some type of roof, window or door failure. The extremely dangerous conditions that this category 4 hurricane is unleashing, including catastrophic floods and life-threatening storm surge, will continue as the storm advances inland. Florida has surpassed 800,000 customers without power. Lee County, home to Fort Myers and Cape Coral, is still the most affected with more than 293,000 customer power outages. Collier County, which includes Naples and Marco Island, has more than 129,000 customers without power. Sarasota County, which includes the cities of Sarasota and Siesta Key, is at more than 112,000 customers without power.
