HURRICANE IDALIA

The U-S state of Florida's been hit by strong winds and flooding, after Hurricane Idalia made landfall as a Category three storm. It's actually the most violent storm to hit this part of Florida in 100 years. Buildings have been washed away, thousands are without power and there's lots and lots of flooding. Authorities still don't know how much damage has been done. But there are signs that Florida might not have been hit as badly as expected. Authorities are warning that the threat isn't over, as the storm keeps making it's way up to Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina. And experts say the US could see more of these natural disasters in the months to come.
