Some in Florida and Alabama without power as Isaias moves north to Appalachians and Mid-Atlantic
Life-threatening surf and rip current conditions were expected to continue along the Gulf and southeastern Atlantic coasts, the National Weather Service said.
Nearly 396,000 customers in Florida's Panhandle and southern Alabama remained without power early Sunday as remnants of Hurricane Isaias moved north. The storm, now expected to bring widespread moderate to heavy rainfall across the central Appalachians and mid-Atlantic region, had already caused at least four deaths, including two from tree falls onto homes in Florida and Alabama.
Heavy rain could lead to isolated flash flooding and strong wind gusts, with life-threatening surf and rip current conditions along the Gulf and southeastern Atlantic coasts. President Trump authorized emergency declarations for Georgia and Alabama, enabling federal aid, while the U.S. Energy Department exchanged crude oil from the strategic petroleum reserve to address supply disruptions.
