Hurricane Isaias has claimed four lives across the United States, with hundreds of thousands left without electricity, officials reported on Saturday. In Florida, 430,000 households were affected, according to Governor Ron DeSantis, who cited one death from a falling tree and another from a generator running in a garage. Alabama reported 200,000 power outages and two fatalities.
The storm made landfall in Florida on Friday, reaching wind speeds of up to 165 kilometers per hour before weakening. Although it is no longer classified as a hurricane, Isaias still poses risks such as flooding and tornadoes. The National Hurricane Center warned residents in the central Appalachian Mountains and the US mid-Atlantic coast, including Washington DC, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and New York, to prepare for heavy rainfall and flash flooding.
Meanwhile, Hurricane Simon is approaching Mexico as a Category 4 storm, expected to maintain strength and make landfall on the central-western Pacific coast by Sunday evening.
