Historic Hurricane Idalia powered across southeastern Georgia on Wednesday afternoon after making landfall earlier along Florida’s Big Bend as a Category 3 tropical cyclone, driving “catastrophic” storm surge and flooding for hundreds of miles.
The storm’s center was 100 miles west-northwest of Savannah, Georgia, by 2 p.m., heading northeast at 20 mph with sustained winds of 75 mph − weakening over land but still barely a hurricane.
