LIVE: DeSantis press conference in Bronson, FL before Tropical Storm Idalia.
Gov. Ron DeSantis to Address Tropical Storm Idalia
Gathered in the picturesque town of Bronson, Florida, Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) will take the podium once again to address the looming threat of Tropical Storm Idalia. With the storm projected to transform into a hurricane in the Gulf of Mexico by Tuesday, and its arrival in the Sunshine State expected on Wednesday, the urgency is palpable.
Officials are bracing for the storm’s intensification over the next 12 to 18 hours, prompting the issuance of evacuation orders spanning from Pinellas County to the north central Florida counties. In light of the potential devastation, DeSantis has urged residents to make necessary preparations by stocking up on essential supplies. To underscore the gravity of the situation, a state of emergency has been extended across 46 counties.
Joining Gov. DeSantis in Bronson will be Florida Division of Emergency Management Director Kevin Guthrie, Maj. Gen. John Haas, and Levy County Sheriff Bobby McCallum. This esteemed group of leaders will stand united in their commitment to safeguarding the well-being of Florida’s residents.
Prior to this press conference, Gov. DeSantis addressed the public in Largo, Florida, at 1:45 p.m. EDT. Now, at 3:45 p.m. EDT, he will once again take the stage, this time at the Levy County Sheriff’s Office in Bronson, Florida.
