From the BBC:

“The latest on Tropical Storm Idalia”

After hitting the Florida coast on Wednesday morning as a category 3 hurricane, Idalia has weakened to a tropical storm - but still poses a threat to the US south-east

A major storm surge triggered by Idalia has led to widespread flooding along Florida's Gulf Coast

Some 440,000 people in Florida and Georgia still have no electricity, according to Poweroutages.us

There have been no confirmed deaths from the storm, but Florida Highway Patrol reported the deaths of two drivers in crashes caused by rainy conditions

Teams from the federal government and other states have been helping local authorities conduct rescues and remove debris

Flash and river flooding is likely across Georgia and the eastern Carolinas through Thursday, the National Hurricane Center warns.
