0:56Now PlayingHurricane Idalia has knocked out power to hundreds of thousands of customers, grounded more than 800 flights and unleashed floods along Florida’s coast far from where it came ashore as a Category 3 storm earlier Wednesday.
Idalia’s top winds dropped to 110 miles (177 kilometers) per hour about an hour after it came ashore near Keaton Beach, Florida, the US National Hurricane Center said in an 9 a.m. New York time advisory. Earlier, its winds had reached 130 mph, making it a Category 4 storm on the five-step Saffir-Simpson scale, before dropping to Category 3 as it made landfall.
While Idalia hit a sparsely populated area, it could still bring on $10 billion in damages as it moves across northern Florida into Georgia and South Carolina in the coming days, said Chuck Watson, a disaster modeler with Enki Research.
