As Hurricane Idalia wreaks havoc in the Florida area, the heads of state are impacted as well. According to a report from CBS News, a 100-year-old tree oak fell on Governor Ron DeSantis' mansion in Tallahassee, Florida while he was away hosting press conferences for updates on the very hurricane that did damage to his own home, ironically. During the scare, Casey DeSantis and their three children were inside, but no one was reported to have been injured.
The governor and GOP candidate for president re-located with his family to the mansion in 2019, upon election to office. The original structure was built in 1907 and rebuilt in 1955 to fix structural issues.
