August 30, 2023 Atlanta: A large tree fell from a nearby house that blocked morning traffic on East Morningside Drive near Piedmont Avenue in Midtown Atlanta on Wednesday, Aug. 30, 2023 as overnight rain left a soggy metro.Gov. Brian Kemp on Tuesday, Aug. 30, 2023 declared a state of emergency with Hurricane Idalia expected to bring life-threatening storm surges to Florida’s Gulf Coast Wednesday before heading into southwest Georgia. High winds, heavy rain, flash flooding and widespread power outages are possible in Florida and in south and coastal Georgia, according to the National Hurricane Center. Tornadoes are also possible in Georgia, the National Weather Service said. The storm’s rain bands could reach metro Atlanta. “We are taking every precaution ahead of Hurricane Idalia’s landfall (Wednesday), and I am taking this additional executive action to ensure state assets are ready to respond,” Kemp said. Georgia farmers, who have millions of dollars worth of peanuts, pecans and cotton sitting in their fields, were making final preparations on Tuesday. “Most people would probably like to see some rain this time of year to sort of finish out the crop; that part of it would be a blessing,” said Jonathan Mann, co-owner of GBJ Mann Farms in Surrency, about 90 miles southwest of Savannah. “But it’s the wind that would have me very concerned.” (John Spink / John.Spink@ajc.com)
