Hurricane Isaias, which made landfall near Destin, Florida on Friday evening as a Category 2 hurricane with sustained winds of 169 km/h (105 mph), caused two deaths and left over 800,000 customers without power across parts of the southeastern United States. The storm weakened to a post-tropical cyclone by Saturday morning but still resulted in widespread damage from fallen trees and power lines, road closures due to flooding, and structural damages such as a torn roof off a hotel in Pensacola. Officials warned that the threat of flooding could persist even after the storm's passage.

Story summary
Tropical Storm Isaias formed off the eastern coast of Mexico on October 7 and was expected to strengthen into a hurricane by late Wednesday, with potential landfall along the US Gulf Coast as early as Friday evening. The storm initially had maximum sustained winds of 40 mph and was moving east-northeast at 8 mph. By Thursday, Isaias had intensified into a Category 1 hurricane, packing 75 mph winds, and was situated about 460 miles south-southwest of the Mississippi River's mouth.
Governor Ron DeSantis declared a state of emergency for 25 counties in Florida ahead of the storm. The National Hurricane Center warned that Isaias could strengthen further into a Category 3 hurricane before making landfall, bringing life-threatening impacts such as storm surges and heavy rainfall from southeast Louisiana to Florida’s Big Bend region. Forecasters urged residents to prepare for potential severe weather conditions including flooding and wind damage.
