0:46Now PlayingHurricane Idalia is building strength in the Gulf of Mexico as it heads toward landfall Wednesday on Florida’s west coast, where it threatens to unleash floods and trigger blackouts.
Idalia’s winds topped 100 miles per hour Tuesday, making it a Category 2 storm on the five-step, Saffir-Simpson scale, the US National Hurricane Center said in a 5 p.m. advisory. Its winds could reach more than 125 mph, or Category 3 strength, as it comes ashore.
Idalia’s track has shifted slightly to the west, but as much as 15 feet (4.6 meters) of sea water could be pushed onshore north of Tampa and 6 feet could slosh across Tampa Bay.
