What happened
Isaias weakened into a post-tropical cyclone after coming ashore near Destin, Florida, as a Category 2 hurricane with winds near 105 mph. Its rain remained dangerous as forecasters warned of flash, urban and river flooding, including heavy rainfall in the Southeast and southern Appalachians. Isaias was the first hurricane of the Atlantic season and the first to hit the U.S. mainland in two years. At least four people died in storm-related incidents in Florida and Alabama. The storm left hundreds of thousands of customers without power while damaging buildings, trees and power lines. Forecasters warned tornadoes, dangerous surf, rip currents, gusty winds and scattered outages could continue farther north.
