What happened

Isaias moved north after striking near Destin, Florida, as a Category 2 hurricane, leaving a deadly trail through Florida and Alabama. At least four people were killed in storm-related incidents, including falling trees, carbon monoxide poisoning and a vehicle crash. The storm was the first hurricane of the Atlantic season, raising the stakes for coastal and inland emergency crews. Its remnants brought heavy rain, flooding and landslides to parts of the Carolinas and Appalachians, while tornadoes hit parts of the Southeast and East Coast. Alabama emergency officials said power restoration and temporary housing were major challenges. River flooding could continue as utilities worked to restore service.
