What does Idalia look like now? Watch on beach cams as the hurricane hits Florida coast

As Hurricane Idalia strengthens and approaches Florida Wednesday morning, livestream cameras up along the Gulf Coast are capturing the storm as it makes landfall.

Category 4 Idalia will hit the Gulf Coast of Florida with intense winds and storm surge.

A variety of viewpoints of the approaching storm can be seen from business and government cameras stationed on the barrier islands off of Manatee and Sarasota counties. Views include Holmes Beach, Bradenton Beach, Longboat Key, Siesta Key, Englewood Beach, as well as traffic cams at the Skyway Bridge and restaurant cams on Cedar Key.
