Traffic camera footage shows a flooded Florida interstate as Hurricane Idalia made landfall in the state.
Idalia hit the Big Bend region as a “life-threatening” Category 3 storm before downgrading to a Category 2 as it moved across land.
Footage from an I-275 traffic camera over Tampa Bay shows water submerging the northbound lanes.
A release from The National Hurricane Center on Wednesday morning (30 August) said that Florida’s Big Bend region was hit with a “catastrophic storm surge” and “damaging winds” were also spreading inland over northern parts of the state.
