The wider storm

The center of Hurricane Idalia passed about 180 miles west of Naples as a Category 2 moving north over the eastern Gulf of Mexico. The outermost edge of Idalia's tropical storm force wind field skirted the SW Florida Gulf coast, and a few outer rain bands moved through South Florida on August 29th and 30th bringing brief tropical storm force wind gusts. A storm surge of about 3 feet, combined with high astronomical tides, led to minor coastal flooding in Collier County during the high tide cycles on August 29th and 30th.
