Hurricane Isaias Kills Four and Leaves 630,000 Without Power as It Weakens

Hurricane Isaias, the first Atlantic hurricane of the 2026 season, has weakened to a post-tropical cyclone after making landfall in Florida. At least four people have died, and approximately 630,000 customers remain without power across the US South. The storm has caused widespread tree damage, flooding, and supply disruptions, prompting federal emergency declarations and an emergency release of crude oil from the strategic petroleum reserve.

Isaias transitions to post-tropical cyclone, threatening Southeast with severe flooding and landslides

Hurricane Isaias, the first hurricane of the 2026 Atlantic season, made landfall near Destin, Florida, as a Category 2 storm on Friday evening. It has since weakened into a post-tropical cyclone, moving northeast through Alabama and Tennessee. While wind threats have diminished, the system poses a significant flooding risk, with river levels cresting in the Florida Panhandle and potential for landslides in the Southern Appalachians. Nearly 400,000 Florida customers remain without power, and the storm is expected to be absorbed by another low-pressure system within 36 hours.
