Children poured out of Putnam County School District buses Friday morning as they prepared for a morning of learning about life during the Civil War era.
Voluntary evacuations are underway in Putnam County ahead of Hurricane Idalia, which is expected to make landfall Wednesday morning as a Category 3 storm.
Hurricane Idalia is forecast to strengthen rapidly into “an extremely dangerous major hurricane” before hitting the Gulf Coast on Wednesday and sweeping across North Central and Northeast Florida.
