  "account": "At least four people died as cyclone Isaias made landfall on Florida's Gulf Coast, bringing flooding and tornado risks. The storm, which was the first hurricane of an Atlantic season affected by a historic El Nino weather phenomenon, hit Florida as a Category 2 hurricane with sustained winds of 105 miles per hour. In Mary Esther, a coastal community near Destin, Matt Howard expressed relief that the storm weakened before making landfall. At least four deaths were reported, including two from trees falling on homes, one near Pensacola in Florida and another in Birmingham, Alabama. Authorities reported extensive damage, including overturned vehicles, downed trees, and power lines. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis warned residents to exercise caution due to lingering hazards. Over 500,000 US customers were without electricity. The US Department of Energy authorized the release of reserve crude to mitigate the storm's impact on the Gulf coast. The storm brought a significant flood threat, with some areas potentially seeing 10 inches of rain. The strong El Nino weather phenomenon contributed to Isaias's late arrival and its intensity.",
