As the remnants of Hurricane Isaias moved northward into the Appalachian region and the mid-Atlantic, Southern California bore the brunt of Tropical Storm Rachel. In western North Carolina, heavy rainfall triggered flash floods and warnings of tornadoes in parts of Virginia and North Carolina. The National Hurricane Center warned of life-threatening surf and rip currents along the Gulf and southeastern Atlantic coasts.
Isaias, the first hurricane of the Atlantic season, made landfall as a Category 2 hurricane near Destin, Florida, causing damage to high-rises and tourist shops.
