Michael Bobbitt of Cedar Key
Stood firm against Idalia's spree
His home still intact
Though damage was a fact
His community will rebuild with glee

A RECORD 6.9 foot storm surge in Cedar Key, FL. Surrounded by water as expected. #UOF #idalia

[That's Jim Cantore pointing to the floodwater in the University of Florida facility they used for today's live shots in Cedar Key.]

#CedarKey #FLwx #idalia

L'ouragan #Idalia provoque une surcote allant jusqu'à 3 mètres. Ici, la ville de #CedarKey est complètement inondée ce mercredi matin. L'ouragan désormais en catégorie 3 remonte rapidement vers les Carolines qu'il touchera dans la nuit et ce jeudi.

Cedar Key flooded, but surprised to not see much wind at all. Looks like it's still below most of the folks with pylons. #CedarKey #Idalia #hurricane #flooding

Live webcam at #CedarKey. Will look very different in the next few hours as the storm surge moves in as #Idalia passes and moves north of the area. #flwx. https://www.ipcamlive.com/cedarcoveresort

For near real-time data on storm surge, open this interactive #GIS map, click any green dot and follow the link. Each dot is a coastal gage. The gage directly above the map center is at #CedarKey

Each time you open a gage data page you will see the latest data.

Each gage data page also has “Meteorlogical Obs” link with near real-time wind speed data.

Got sea level rise?

If 10 foot sea level rise then areas shaded blue on this interactive #GIS map will be underwater. Sea level rise data is shown for all the USA coast.

@BakerRL75 @iembot_tbw #CedarKey #Yankeetown #FowlerBluff (yet... no official evac in that county yet 😬 )

@ai6yr @beautfc
Hi, do you know how to warn people in #CedarKey to evacuate ahead of the storm surge for #idalia

If those surge models pan out, that will be "The Floating Cow", not "The Tipsy Cow". We shall see. #CedarKey #FLwx #Idalia #TropicalStormIdalia #StormSurge

I dunno if anyone in #CedarKey #Florida is on the Fediverse, but I'd be hightailing it out of there right about now... just in case. Greater than 9 feet worth of storm surge currently forecast, and all routes to the mainland will be cut off. #FLwx (No official evac declared... yet)

The graves were not the only shocking news the historical society found out about its cemetery. In a time when segregation was prominent in the South, the Cedar Key Cemetery was integrated.”
