A 100-year-old tree fell on the Governor’s Mansion in Tallahassee, home of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) and his family, as Hurricane Idalia continues to impact Florida, Georgia, and the Carolinas.
Florida First Lady Casey DeSantis shared an image of the oak tree, which appears to be split in half. She said she and her three children were home at the time, but no one was hurt.
“100 year old oak tree falls on the Governor’s Mansion in Tallahassee — Mason, Madison, Mamie and I were home at the time, but thankfully no one was injured,” she said. “Our prayers are with everyone impacted by the storm.”
