The storm made landfall near Destin, Florida, as a Category 2 hurricane Friday night, bringing heavy rain, strong winds and storm surge to parts of the Gulf Coast. It moved into Alabama early Saturday and lost its tropical characteristics as it traveled north, bringing rain and gusty winds farther inland. The storm also caused flooding and other damage elsewhere in the Southeast. Rivers overflowed in North Carolina, prompting water rescues, while hurricane-force winds in Florida left many people without power. Four deaths had been reported in connection with the storm.
