Volusia County emerged largely unscathed from the impacts of Hurricane Idalia, the county reported in a press release Wednesday.
“We were fortunate with this storm as we only had to deal with its outer edges,” said Volusia County Emergency Management Director Clint Mecham in the press release. “Each storm presents its own challenges, and we all need to be ready for the next one.”
The city of Ormond Beach also reported minimal impact from the storm on its Facebook page.
"As of now, we are relieved to report that there's no damage within our beloved city," the city stated. "We're thankful for the safety of all our residents."
The county's coastal and beach safety divisions are assessing damage along the coast, but initial inspections have reported no significant erosion or property impacts, the county press release stated. However, beach access ramps will remain closed on Wednesday.
The beach will reopen to driving Thursday, Aug. 31.
