Red Cross volunteers from Wisconsin are in Florida ready to assist residents impacted by Hurricane Idalia. Idalia tore into Florida with 125 mph winds, splitting trees in half, ripping roofs off hotels and turning small cars into boats. Red Cross of Wisconsin spokeswoman Jennifer Warren told WFDL news more than 400 volunteers from Wisconsin are ready to help. State officials, 5,500 National Guardsman and rescue crews were in search-and-recovery mode, inspecting bridges, clearing toppled trees and looking for anyone in distress. Nearly a half-million people in Florida and Georgia were left without power.
