Is there school today in Florida after Tuesday's storms? Schools closed in one county
Schools are closed Wednesday in some of the areas hit hardest by Tuesday's storms.
Schools were closed Tuesday across the state, in almost 40 of Florida's 67 counties, in anticipation of the severe storms.
Days ahead of the storms, the National Weather Service and Storm Prediction Center were warning residents the storms could bring tornadoes, very strong winds and strong thunderstorms.
The warnings came true, especially for residents in the Panhandle, where possible tornadoes left behind devastation, especially in Bay and Jackson counties.
What Florida schools are closed today?
According to the Florida Department of Education, schools in only one county will remain closed Wednesday:

"Due to the damage the community has received, we are canceling school for January 10, 2024. Please stay safe in your recovery efforts. For those that did not receive damage, now is the time to help your neighbors," the school district posted on Facebook.
