Hurricane Idalia is no longer an active storm; it already moved through Georgia in late August 2023, so there is nothing currently “supposed to hit” the state from Idalia now.

When Idalia hit Georgia

  • Idalia made landfall on the Florida Big Bend coast on the morning of Wednesday, August 30, 2023 (around 7:45 a.m. Eastern).
  • It then moved north-northeast and crossed into southern Georgia later on August 30, 2023, still as a hurricane with strong winds and heavy rain.
  • The main impacts in Georgia (strong winds, flooding rain, tornado risk) were from Wednesday, August 30 through early Thursday, August 31, 2023.

So if you are asking in a current sense “when is Hurricane Idalia supposed to hit Georgia,” the answer is that Idalia already passed through Georgia back on August 30–31, 2023 and is no longer a threat today.
