Hurricane Idalia made landfall in Florida Wednesday as a powerful Category 3 storm, raking the northern Gulf Coast with ferocious winds and potentially deadly floodwaters before being downgraded to a tropical storm as evening fell.

Multiple news outlets reported that two men in Florida were killed in separate rain-related car crashes Wednesday morning as Idalia made landfall. Authorities said a 40-year-old man lost control of his vehicle and collided with a tree, and a 59-year-old man crashed into trees after driving in "extremely rainy conditions."

As of the National Hurricane Center's 5 p.m. ET advisory, Idalia was around 40 miles west-southwest of Savannah, Ga., moving northeast at 25 mph with maximum sustained winds of around 70 mph.

Despite Idalia's downgrade to tropical storm status as it made its way across southern Georgia, forecasters continued to warn that it packed a potentially dangerous storm surge, and could still cause tornadoes and more flooding in the Carolinas.
