Biden to visit Florida to survey Idalia damage
President Biden and the First Lady are in Florida over the weekend to survey damage left behind by Hurricane Idalia. Katie Byrne with FOX Weather joined LiveNOW from FOX's Josh Breslow with a live report from Live Oak, Florida.
FOX Corporation has launched a donation drive for relief efforts by the American Red Cross following Hurricane Idalia, the company announced on Friday.

Idalia’s force was felt long after it made landfall, remaining a hurricane as it moved into northern Florida, Georgia and the Carolinas, dropping 8 to 10 inches of rain across much of the region before exiting back into the Atlantic.

Hurricane Idalia: Hernando County flooded
One Florida county impacted by Hurricane Idalia was Hernando County. Erin Thomas, the deputy director of the county's Emergency Management joined LiveNOW from FOX's Josh Breslow to discuss the clean-up.
Due to this, the Red Cross is carefully working across state and county lines to ensure no community impacted is missed.
Responders are driving across large swaths of geography and working with local community leaders to identify portions of their community that are most vulnerable. Tornadoes, flash flooding, water surge and hurricane force winds have impacted more than 30 counties across four states.
There is also a fear that many impacted residents are remaining in their homes, no matter the level of damage, out of fear of looting.
The QR code will also appear on-screen throughout FOX News' coverage of the hurricane for viewers to scan and then be directed to FOX Forward Red Cross.
In August, FOX Corporation launched a similar donation drive for relief efforts following the deadly Hawaiian wildfires.
