STORY CONTINUES BELOW THESE SALTWIRE VIDEOSWatch on - Millions of residents could be affected by Hurricane Idalia as it hurtles toward Florida's Gulf Coast, where it is expected to slam ashore on Wednesday morning with winds of at least 111 miles per hour .
Three major hurricanes have struck Florida in the past seven years: Irma in 2017, Michael in 2018 and Ian last September. A"king tide" - the highest type of high tide, caused by the extra gravitational pull that occurs when the sun and moon align with Earth - is also expected on Wednesday, which will likely exacerbate the surges from Idalia.
Twelve of the counties issued mandatory evacuation orders for certain residents, especially those living in coastal and flood-prone areas or in mobile homes, recreational vehicles, or structurally unsound housing.
