Hurricane Idalia updates: FSU likely to practice later Wednesday

Florida State's football practice schedule remains on track, although coach Mike Norvell said the team could shift gears due to Hurricane Idalia.

"Right now, we're tracking that hourly," Norvell said after Tuesday morning's practice. "If we need to adapt and adjust, then we will. Tomorrow is going to be a lighter day, a big mental day for us. We'll see what that looks like when we get to that point. Right now, not anticipating any major changes."

The Seminoles are set to practice on Wednesday (closed) and Thursday morning (open to media). Wednesday's practice time remains to be determined.

Norvell and the coaches could move the team to the indoor practice facility or shif the practice to the evening. There will be no classes at FSU on Wednesday, giving players and coaches some flexibility.

On Wednesday at 7:45 a.m., Hurricane Idalia made landfall at Keaton Beach, about 75 miles southeast of Tallahassee, as a Category 3 hurricane. A storm surge and heavy rain are among the biggest concerns with impacts reaching from Tampa to the Big Bend.

FSU administrators announced on Tuesday at 12:24 p.m. that campus would be closed through Friday. As long as players, coaches and staff can safely practice, they will be allowed to do so on campus, a school spokesperson confirmed on Tuesday afternoon.
