Flamingo fever! Delmarva sightings excite as they're blown off course by Hurricane Idalia

Hurricanes can of course be very destructive, but they also sometimes bring rare sights that are beautiful to behold on Delmarva and around the East Coast.

As USA Today reported, Hurricane Idalia is being credited with delivering a flock of flamingos to parts of the Eastern United States where they're rarely seen.

Three days after landfall, flamingo sightings had been reported in Alabama, South and North Carolina, Ohio, Tennessee and Virginia. And yes, here on Delmarva.
