Summary
Hurricane Idalia hit Florida's Gulf Coast at Keaton Beach as a category 3 hurricane. Photo and video coverage for Reuters
Hurricane Idalia plowed into Florida's Gulf Coast on August 30 with howling winds, torrential rains and pounding surf. Nearly 36 hours after plowing ashore from the Gulf of Mexico at Keaton Beach in Florida's Big Bend region, packing Category 3 winds of nearly 125 miles per hour (201 kph), Idalia weakened from a tropical storm to a post-tropical cyclone and drifted out into the Atlantic.

The storm brought fierce winds and drove surging seawater miles inland, strewing the area with fallen trees, power lines and debris. Many buildings were in shambles, and power outages were widespread.

The storm ranked as the most powerful hurricane in more than a century to strike the Big Bend region, a sparsely populated area laced with marshland, rivers and springs where the state's northern Gulf Coast panhandle curves into the western side of the Florida Peninsula.
