Because of the beauty from the eye in the sky. . .I am featuring a .GIF of the whole loop of Atlantic Category 4 Hurricane Idalia, which moved directly over the land areas of Florida, Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina, and also affected many more states including Virginia. Idalia started in the far eastern Pacific Ocean at 12°N & 89°W just south of El Salvador and moved northward directly over the 3 country region area of El Salvador, Honduras and Nicaragua, and moving into the Carribean northward where it meandered slowly in a static move. Idalia continued as a disturbance northward looking like it would enter the Gulf and then trekked down south back into the warm Caribbean, being upgraded to Depression 10 and then tropical storm and being named–and then Idalia started moving north once again into the Gulf quickly becoming a hurricane and then a completely dangerous category 4 storm before moving ashore on August 30th in Florida near Steinhatchee and Perry. Idalia turned right and continued north- northeastward as a hurricane completely over inland Florida and didn’t lose enough strength to be downgraded to a tropical storm nealy until it was over Georgia. On it’s northeast move Idalia continued as a tropical storm clearly through South Carolina and North Carolina and then eastward over the Atlantic before quickly fizzling but staying together enough to make it hundreds of miles as a dissolving storm, finally fizzling at 32°N & 67°W, as featured all on one loop, on .GIPHY:
