Officials in Citrus County, Florida, are closely monitoring the storm surge brought by Hurricane Debby, as the community continues to recover from the flooding caused by Hurricane Idalia a year ago.
Citrus County Commissioner Jeff Kinnard mentioned that there are similarities between Hurricane Debby and Hurricane Idalia, but fortunately, Debby seems to be less intense. Debby, a Category 1 hurricane, made landfall near Steinhatchee, just 9 miles southeast of where the more powerful Category 3 Hurricane Idalia hit on August 30, 2023.
