Some of the most violent wind gusts from the hurricane were recorded in Milton, Florida, where one woman said she was lying down in her room when a tree fell on her home.
Following Hurricane Isaias, a tropical disturbance was brewing in the Atlantic. However, there is little chance of formation, experts say.
Footage has been shared on social media showing the devastation caused by Isaias, which crashed into the Florida coast as a Category 2 hurricane on Friday, though it has since weakened to a post-tropical cyclone according to the National Hurricane Center (NHC).
The disturbance, located a few hundred miles west of the Cabo Verde Islands, was producing a large but disorganized area of showers and thunderstorms. The storms extended into the western Cabo Verde Islands, National Hurricane Center forecaster Andrew Hagen said. There is currently no threat to Louisiana.
Post-tropical storm Rachel brought powerful winds, heavy rainfall and widespread flooding to California. Now, as the storm moves inland, Western states brace for its effects
An unusual phenomenon for a tropical cyclone is likely what caused most of the damage on what is typically the less tumultuous side of the storm.
The National Ocean Service continues to survey some of the hardest-hit areas after Hurricane Isaias made landfall Friday night.
Isaias has the potential to bring damaging winds, long-duration power outages, flash flooding, deadly storm surge and tornadoes to the coast. Inland areas in Alabama won’t get off that easy, either, and could face power outages, flash flooding and tornadoes as the storm moves northward over the state.
