THE “APOCALYPTIC SCENES” OF HURRICANE IDALIA: A Fisherman Michael Bobbitt who Chose to Stay and Help Describes “Apocalyptic Scenes” from Hurricane Idalia 

Hurricane Idalia has brought “apocalyptic scenes” already as a massive storm surge has smashed Florida’s Cedar Key region ahead of the catastrophic Hurricane hitting in the next few minutes.

A brave clam fisherman who chose to stay behind to help rescue people who have refused to leave has said of the beautiful coastal area “it’s a near apocalyptic scene here.”

Michael Bobbitt, a local property appraiser and clam fisherman who decided to stay on Cedar Key to help rescue those who refused to leave, spoke just after 6am local time and said the water has “completely swallowed our boat ramps.” It has engulfed Dock Street, and First Street where the historic Cedar Keys downtown begins.

It is fast racing further inland. It comes as a massive storm surge has already hit Florida, with Hurricana Idalia set to hit and make landfallwith 130mph winds at any point in the next few minutes.

Mr Bobbitt said that he felt the “worst case scenario” predictions of storm surge in Cedar Key would come true.

The US National Weather Service has reported that major flooding is possible as water reaches 6.69 feet near Cedar Key.

People in Florida were warned that, if they had not left by now, emergency services would now be unable to get to them until the storm passes.

Florida residents living in vulnerable coastal areas had been repeatedly ordered to pack up and leave as Idalia gained strength in the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico. And those who didn’t were warned to find a safe place while the storm moves through.

“Don’t put your life at risk by doing anything dumb at this point,” Governo Ron DeSantis said at a news conference Wednesday morning. “This thing’s powerful. If you’re inside, just hunker down until it gets past you.”

Meteorologist Jim Cantore tweeted this video and said: “Incredible #Idalia storm surge 6’ and counting here at Cedar Key, FL”.
