Idalia is now a tropical storm as it moves through South Carolina, lashing the Southeast with heavy rain and sustained winds of 60 mph
Idalia made landfall early Wednesday on Florida’s Gulf Coast as a powerful Category 3 storm. It's the strongest hurricane to make landfall in the Big Bend region, the nook between the panhandle and peninsula, in more than 125 years.
The storm is causing flooding in some areas and has left over 400,000 customers in Florida, Georgia and South Carolina without power.
Storm surge from Idalia is setting records for highest water levels in multiple locations from Tampa Bay through Big Bend on the Gulf Coast.
