(CNN) -- Hurricane Ivan came ashore early Thursday near Gulf Shores, Alabama, and was felt all along the Gulf Coast.
Here is a state-by-state breakdown of Hurricane Ivan's impact

Alabama
The storm knocked out power to some 250,000 residences and businesses across Alabama.
Alabama Power reported 197,000 of their customers lost power, most of them -- 178,000 -- in Mobile, according to spokeswoman Carrie Kurlander.
At least 80 percent of its Mobile customers are without power, Kurlander said.
"With the path it is taking, we would expect significant outages in the Montgomery area, the Birmingham area, and in a number of our metro centers across Alabama," Kurlander said.
In Baldwin County, where Gulf Shores is located, and parts of Monroe County, all of Baldwin Electric Membership Cooperative's 55,000 customers were without power, according to Tom Page, vice president of engineering and operations

Florida
Tornadoes along the storm's edge killed two people in Panama City Beach, Bay County government spokeswoman Catherine McNaught said. The two were inside buildings hit by the tornadoes.
More than 500,000 people live in the areas ordered evacuated. And some 338,923 customers in the Florida Gulf coast area were reported to be without power.
Lt. Gov. Toni Jennings compared the latest storm to two that plowed through the Sunshine State in the past five weeks. Ivan, she said, is "the size of Frances, but (with) the impact of Charley."
In Pensacola, Mayor John Fogg said his city was suffering through a dramatic night. One hospital was hit, he said, noting part of the roof of West Florida Hospital had been torn off.
But a hospital official said she didn't think the facility had been hit by a tornado, but may have sustained damage from very high winds.
Fogg also said, "The civic center has been damaged and that was a place that we were sending people that we thought was a safe place to be.
"We've got huge impacts in terms of wind and tidal surge, so I think the effects of this are going to be just pretty horrendous."
Officials in Jackson County, west of Tallahassee, early Thursday reported several major thunderstorms had ripped through the panhandle town of Marianna, resulting in an unknown number of tornadoes and damaging an industrial park, a federal prison and four mobile home parks.
According to Laura Mager with Jackson County Emergency Management, at least 30 mobile homes have been heavily damaged in the storms.

Georgia
Other tornadoes hit southwestern Georgia, destroying two empty mobile homes and leaving a truck driver with minor injuries, said Lt. Matt Hromalik, a spokesman for the Early County Sheriff's Department.

Louisiana
The storm knocked out power to 56,000 homes and businesses across southeast Louisiana, according to a Nicholas Stahl, a spokesman for the state emergency operations center.
In New Orleans, where residents were urged to leave Tuesday as the storm's projected path shifted westward, Mayor Ray Nagin said the city was opening the massive Louisiana Superdome as a "refuge of last resort."
The city imposed a curfew starting at 2 p.m. Wednesday, said the city's police superintendent, Edwin Compass. The city also has banned price gouging. Compass said some gas stations were charging $10 a gallon.
About 1.3 million people were ordered to leave low-lying coastal areas in Louisiana.
Oil workers evacuated offshore rigs in the Gulf of Mexico as Ivan approached, and the Louisiana Offshore Oil Port, which brings in about 16 percent of U.S. daily oil consumption, shut down early. Those interruptions could translate into higher gas prices in the coming weeks, analysts said.
Shutdowns at the Port of New Orleans, a major hub for ships on the Mississippi River and in the Gulf of Mexico, could also have an effect as shipments of steel, copper, rubber and coffee are held up.

Mississippi
About 75,000 people were told to leave Harrison County, one of three counties along that state's Gulf Coast. Residents in parts of Jackson and Hancock counties were also ordered to leave, but no figures were available for those areas.
Mississippi Power reported 71,000 customers were without power Thursday morning on the Gulf Coast.
