Hurricane Idalia made landfall near Keaton Beach in Florida's Big Bend region on August 30, 2023, as a Category 3 hurricane. It then moved through northern Florida into southeast Georgia, maintaining hurricane strength before weakening to a tropical storm as it pushed into the Carolinas. By August 31, Idalia emerged into the Atlantic Ocean and transitioned into a post-tropical cyclone. It subsequently passed south of Bermuda, made a counterclockwise loop, and meandered off the coast of Nova Scotia while winding down
. As of the last reports in late August 2023, Idalia was off the coast of North Carolina, moving eastward over the Atlantic Ocean and gradually weakening, with tropical storm-force winds extending far offshore. It was expected to continue moving away from the U.S. coast through the weekend, causing hazardous surf and rip currents along the southeastern coast
. Therefore, as of the latest available information, Idalia is no longer a hurricane impacting land but is located over the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Nova Scotia, gradually dissipating
