Max rainfall from Idalia 11.6" (29cm) in Marion County, about 40 miles NE of Orlando, and quite a wide area with over half that. Now departing the Atlantic coast with some big storm surges as a parting shot. Fortunately only one death directly attributable (from falling tree), plus a few more in traffic accidents. That leaves Idalia's remnants (may revive as a TS), TS Jose, TS Gert and Hurricane Franklin on the Atlantic of which only Franklin likely to move quickly further N becoming a TS as it goes. Two more disturbances coming away from Africa of which only the second is expected to become significant.
I suspect that in a pre-satellite era some of these would not have been recorded.
Meanwhile there are two cat 2 Pacific typhoons, Saola about to hit Hong Kong and Haikui to reach N. Taiwan in a few days' time.
