Tropical Storm Idalia descended on the Carolinas on its way out to the Atlantic Ocean on Thursday, leaving a trail of flooding and destruction throughout the Southeast that stretched back to its landfall as a hurricane in Florida.
Transcript
00:00 Tropical storm Idalia heads for Georgia and the Carolinas after leaving a trail of destruction
00:07 in Florida.
00:11 Arriving in the Sunshine State Wednesday morning, winds of an estimated 200 km/h triggered a
00:17 catastrophic storm surge.
00:22 All states hit by the storm have had to declare a state of emergency.
00:29 Most coastal areas heeded the warning to evacuate, but some further inland thought
00:34 they could brazen it after pure luck in previous hurricanes.
00:51 The focus now is to clear debris and restore power to the hundreds of thousands of homes
00:56 that have been cut off from the electricity grid.
01:00 Anyone thinking of profiting from the situation has been warned with signs emblazoned with
01:04 "You loot, we shoot".
01:08 Meteorologists meanwhile say a rare blue supermoon could further raise tides above normal levels,
01:13 on top of Idalia's destructive impact.
