Tropical Storm Ida has reached shore, but it's already spread most of its heavy rain along the Gulf Coast.
The storm hit coastal Alabama this morning with rain and gusty winds, but those winds are getting weaker. Top sustain winds from Ida are clocked at 45 miles an hour.
From the Alabama mainland, Ida is expected to turn eastward and follow the Florida Panhandle.
Tropical storm warnings are in effect across Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida.
On Alabama's Dauphin (DAH'-fin) Island, the storm has left some debris and standing water in the streets. But aside from power outages, residents say the storm hasn't had much of an impact.
A hotel desk clerk near the Florida state line says Ida was more like a thunderstorm than a hurricane as it came ashore.
