Hurricane Isaias kills at least four, leaves thousands without power in US
Four people are dead and about 800,000 in south-eastern US states are without power after Hurricane Isaias made landfall, weakening to a post-tropical cyclone.
Hurricane Isaias has claimed at least four lives and left hundreds of thousands across Florida, Alabama and Georgia without power as it weakened from a Category 3 storm to a post-tropical cyclone. Although Florida Governor Ron DeSantis reported no immediate search and rescue requests, authorities warned of hazardous conditions such as storm surges, flash flooding, and tornado threats across parts of the southeastern US.
Power restoration took priority in Florida, while highways, bridges and airports began reopening. However, the National Hurricane Center (NHC) stated that isolated tornadoes and strong winds remained a threat. Oil and gas producer Shell began redeploying personnel from Gulf assets. President Trump reported the situation as "under control."
