Major Hurricane Idalia has made landfall in Florida. We've already observed its initial impacts on the coastal areas and continue monitoring the area with our cloud-penetrating SAR satellites. We expect to deliver our 1st flood extent & depth analysis in 24-48 hours.

As it looks now, storm surge impacts are anticipated to be severe (up to 12ft) in the Tampa Bay and Big Bend regions.

This graphic illustrates our anticipation for impacted watersheds from rainfall flooding in the panhandle, the darker blue is indicative of more severe flooding. We are anticipating both riverine and street (flash flood style) flooding as a result of this event.

This is the National Hurricane Center's (NHC) storm surge forecast, valid from 4 a.m. CDT, August 29. As always, forecasts are updated rapidly in the final hours before a Hurricane, so this expectation is subject to change.

We've started the event monitoring utilizing the capabilities of SAR satellite constellation and our auxiliary data sources.
