Hurricane Idalia lashed Florida's Big Bend region on Wednesday with 120-mile-per-hour winds and rain that caused flooding and severe damage to homes, businesses and cars.

The storm then swept through the state of Georgia with winds of 140 kilometers per hour, flooding roads and forcing the evacuation of many residents.
