Post-Idalia & Ways to Help 🤝

Tallahassee dodged another bullet and Idalia made its historical landfall on Keaton Beach, which directly impacted Perry, Florida and nearby areas. Despite being further away from the center, some had huge trees fall in their yards including at the Governor’s mansion (as seen above).

Given that Hurricanes Michael and Idalia were headed towards us, then making a last minute turn causes some to think there could be some credibility to it. What do you think? All jokes aside, here are some ways people are helping:
