Electric car owners in the state were warned that their vehicles could go on fire following flood damage from Idalia.

"We saw a number of fires associated with EVs [electric vehicles] from Hurricane Ian. We know that the saltwater from storm surge can compromise these batteries, causing fires which cannot be easily suppressed. The best fire teams can do is keep water on the battery until the fuel burns out.

. The National Weather Service in Tampa Bay said that Idalia is expected to be upgraded to a hurricane later on Monday.
