The strongest tropical storm in 125 years, Idalia is moving southeast

Idalia made landfall on Florida's Gulf Coast early Wednesday as a Category 3 hurricane, making it the most powerful to make landfall in the Big Bend region in more than 125 years. It weakened to a tropical storm Wednesday evening and continues to weaken as it travels across the Southeast, according to the National Hurricane Center.

The center of the storm is now moving across South Carolina and is 60 miles west of Charleston. In addition to the waves, heavy rain, strong winds and the threat of tornadoes will continue into the overnight hours for parts of the eastern Carolinas.

Flood warnings were issued in some Georgia as the state braced for Hurricane Idalia. All flights from Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport were canceled for the rest of Wednesday, the airport posted on social media. And government offices in the city of Savannah will remain closed Thursday due to the weather.

About 150 residents were rescued from flooded neighborhoods in Pasco County as Hurricane Idalia moved through Florida, officials said. Some areas of Florida saw more than 8 inches of rain and winds of up to 80 miles per hour, according to preliminary reports. About 4,000 to 6,000 homes were damaged in Florida's Pasco County during the storm, according to Pasco County Administrator Mike Carballa. Florida's biggest concern after Hurricane Idalia is people without power. There were also reports of looting from Hurricane Idalia in Steinhatchee, a village in hard-hit Taylor County, DeSantis said Wednesday.

North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper urged residents to stock up on supplies and stay off flooded roads as Hurricane Idalia hits the area with heavy rainfall and localized flooding. A state of emergency was declared Monday for the state and a tropical storm warning is in effect for the entire coast of the state, Cooper said. Some North Carolina schools are closing early or canceling activities as Hurricane Idalia moves toward the state. South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster said he doesn't think the storm will be as bad as previous hurricanes that have hit the state.
