  "summary": "Hurricane Isaias has been linked to at least two deaths after making landfall on the Florida coast and moving through Alabama. The storm brought heavy rains and powerful winds, causing widespread damage and power outages. Hundreds of thousands of people in Florida, Alabama, and Georgia were left without power.\n\nThe storm made landfall as a Category 2 hurricane, but quickly weakened to a post-tropical cyclone. According to NPR, numerous reports of downed trees were received, and a state of emergency was issued in each of the affected states. Mandatory evacuations were also implemented, particularly in coastal communities.\n\nThe storm's impact was felt across the southeastern US, with flooding and power cuts reported in several areas. The National Hurricane Centre warned of the potential for tornadoes in parts of the Florida Panhandle, Georgia, and the Carolinas. As of Saturday, Isaias was located near Montgomery, Alabama, with maximum sustained winds of 35mph.",
