  "account": "Hurricane Isaias struck Florida as a Category 2 hurricane, making landfall around 8:30pm local time with maximum sustained wind speeds of 105 mph. Scary visuals captured the destructive force of the storm, showing a massive surge of water in Destin and powerful winds in Fort Walton Beach to Destin area. Perdido Key, Milton, and Santa Rosa Beach also bore witness to the storm's wrath, with strong winds and large water bodies. Santa Rosa Sound recorded a staggering 116 mph gust, while Panama City Beach saw water levels 5.6 ft above normal high tide. Despite the hurricane's initial strength, the National Hurricane Center reported that Isaias' maximum sustained winds had dropped to 85 mph a half-hour later, as of 9pm local time. The storm had now transitioned into a Category 1 hurricane, with life-threatening storm surge and hurricane conditions continuing to spread inland.",
