Hurricane Idalia struck the Florida panhandle as a Category 3 storm causing severe flooding due to storm surge.  Some crops were also severely damaged due to the high winds and rain.  Speaking with growers in our area of the state, it seems that we got off fairly easily in terms of damage to crops and infrastructure.
