Tropical Storm Idalia continued its wrath in the Southeast Thursday morning as it descended on North Carolina after pummeling across South Carolina, Georgia and Florida on Wednesday.

North Carolina authorities issued warnings ahead of the storm's anticipated arrival Thursday morning, reminding residents to avoid travel on the coast as flooding and strong winds are anticipated, FOX Weather reported.

Much of eastern North Carolina and the state's coastline remain under multiple warnings into Thursday night as Idalia is forecast to bring winds up to 55 mph, storm surge up to three feet and an average of four to 10 inches of rainfall, according to the National Hurricane Center. The southeastern part of the state is also under a tornado risk until 9 a.m.

"Those in vulnerable oceanfront homes that have the potential to be surrounded by ocean water due to no existing dune structure should relocate," said Dare County Emergency Management Director Drew Pearson. "Actions should also be taken to protect vehicles and property parked or stored in areas that may flood."

Strong rip currents remain a threat into the weekend, resulting in swimmers not being allowed in the ocean above their knees at the following locations: Carova Beach, Swan Beach, Corolla, Duck, Southern Shores, Kitty Hawk, Kill Devil Hills, Nags Head, South Nags Head, Bodie Island, Pea Island, Roadanthe, Waves, Salvo, Avon, Buxton, Frisco, Hatteras village and all of Ocracoke Island, according to WBOX in the Outer Banks.

CHARLESTON SLAMMED WITH STORM SURGE AS IDALIA CONTINUES POUNDING THE SOUTHEAST

Idalia, which made landfall on Florida's Big Bend as a Category 3 hurricane Wednesday morning, weakened during its trek across the Sunshine State and the Peach State, but was still recording winds of up to 60 mph as it entered South Carolina Wednesday evening, FOX Weather reported.

Tide levels in the Charleston Harbor rose up to 9.23 feet as Idalia flooded streets in the historic city and caused dune erosion along the Carolina coast. There were no reported injuries in South Carolina as of Thursday morning, but several cars were stuck in the floodwaters.

The storm also produced short-lived tornadoes in South Carolina. One of which flipped a car in the suburban town of Goose Creek, causing minor injuries.

TROPICAL STORM IDALIA CAUSES 'SEVERE DAMAGE' AND CATASTROPHIC FLOODING AS IT RIPS THROUGH COASTAL STATES

Idalia came ashore near Keaton Bend, Florida, just before 8 a.m. local time Wednesday, causing catastrophic storm surge, severe flooding and damage from its 125 mph winds.

There were no deaths recorded in the state as a direct result of the hurricane, but Florida Highway Patrol reported two people died in weather-related crashes hours before Idalia made landfall.

In Valdosta, Georgia, a man died after a tree fell on him while he tried to clear another tree from the road, Lowndes County Sheriff Ashley Paulk said. The tree also injured two others, including a sheriff's deputy.

Trees were also uprooted in Savannah, Georgia, as Idalia hit the city with wind gusts of up to 52 mph, according to the National Weather Service in Charleston.

President Biden called the governors of Florida, Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina on Wednesday and told them their states had his administration’s full support, the White House said.

The storm is expected to roll off into the Atlantic Ocean Thursday night.

Canadian psychologist and author Dr. Jordan Peterson said he plans to broadcast all aspects of the "social media training" he was ordered to undergo following a series of controversial posts he shared online.

An Ontario court upheld a decision last week ordering Peterson, a media personality and professor emeritus of the University of Toronto psychology department, to complete a social media training course on professionalism in public statements or risk potentially losing his license to practice.

In an interview on "Jesse Watters Primetime" Wednesday, Peterson said he will comply with the order, but will publicize his entire experience so the public can "decide for themselves" how to interpret the order.

Part of the order read: "The order is not disciplinary and does not prevent Dr. Peterson from expressing himself on controversial topics… " according to CBC.

CANADIAN COURT UPHOLDS JORDAN PETERSON FORCED TO UNDERGO ‘SOCIAL MEDIA TRAINING’ OVER CONTROVERSIAL POSTS

"I'm going to do everything I can to make all of this as public as I possibly can," he told Fox News' Jesse Watters. "I have done that from the beginning. I released all the documents that included the charges, so to speak, that the college has levied against me. I want to make this 100% transparent and let the public decide for themselves who exactly is acting, let’s say, in an unprofessional capacity."

Depending on the legalities involved, Peterson said he will either use film, audio recordings or "extensive notes and commentary afterward" to ensure his experience is well-documented and widely shared. 

"My plan is to make everything that's done to me public and if I can do that by filming, well, then, I'll do that… Somehow, everything that happens is going to be made public. It is absolutely necessary," he added.

The College of Psychologists of Ontario previously claimed that several of Peterson’s social media posts could be viewed as professional misconduct and required him to take a social media training course, stating that if he refused, he could lose his psychology license in Ontario. 

Peterson filed a judicial review of the order, but the Ontario court, which came to a unanimous decision among the three judges, dismissed his request.

At the center of the academic body's complaint were a number of Peterson's social media posts calling out transgender ideology, politicians and other topics. He was suspended in 2022 from Twitter, the platform now known as X, after rebuking transgender actor Elliot Page for having her "breasts removed by a criminal physician."

Peterson maintained that his posts were his "opinions" and that he felt an obligation in his professional capacity as a psychologist to call out "sadistic" treatments and surgeries, among other things, that he considers "absolutely not acceptable."

"I’m perfectly willing to state that I am stating my opinions on Twitter and social media in my professional capacity," Peterson said. "So, for example, the comments I made about Ellen Page, you know, I’m not the least bit happy about what the sadistic surgeon butchers are doing to minors, and I’m also not very happy about narcissistic, let’s say, celebrities parading off their new, surgically enhanced body and enticing young women, for example, into becoming sterilized and butchered, so I think I have a professional obligation like all therapists and all physicians to say very clearly that this is 100% absolutely not acceptable."

The court's decision, Peterson has said, is an attack on his free speech, adding that it represents the "unraveling of all the principles upon which my country and yours are predicated."

"And that's part of the ideological possession that has swept over Canada in particular," he told host Jesse Watters.

Peterson offered his personal assessment of the enticement among the left to challenge the fundamental freedoms and principles in place in the West.

"People have been motivated by spite and resentment forever," he added. "It's a story as old as mankind. It's as old as the story of Kane and Abel to tear down what's successful and useful in spite because your own sacrifices, let’s say, have apparently gone unrewarded, and that is just the same old endless, archetypal story playing out in political guise."

"There is no shortage of people as well, especially on the more psychopathic side of the continuum, who will adopt the camouflage of compassion… to tear everything down and dance around in the ruins."

"Everybody is in a position in their lives to feel alienated from existence itself from time to time," he said. "Life is pretty difficult and things don’t often always turn out the way we want them to, and we can all doubt the meaning of our own lives and the purpose and we're all subject to a certain amount of torture, and one of the temptations there is to get bitter and resentful and to lash out, to look for enemies and to tear down tradition, merely to shake your fist at destiny itself and to express their dismay."

"It's a constant temptation for everyone, in some ways — to be tempted, to be enticed down that pathway, but it's a very dreadful state. The freedoms that we put in place in the West, especially the freedom of speech, is predicated on the viewpoint that human existence is worthwhile and so is being itself and that we should orient ourselves properly upward and, well, some people think that is a good idea and some people take the opposite tack."
