Summary

Hurricane Isaias, initially forecast as a Category 3 hurricane with winds near 120 mph, made landfall in Florida as a Category 2 hurricane and subsequently weakened to a post-tropical cyclone. The storm caused widespread power outages affecting nearly 900,000 homes and businesses across Florida, Alabama, and Georgia, and resulted in at least two storm-related deaths—one in Escambia County, Florida, where a tree fell on a home, and one in Birmingham, Alabama, from a similar incident. Strong winds damaged an airport and tore the roof off a hotel in Pensacola, Florida. Floating spiders were observed in the water by an employee. Road closures and downed trees and power lines were reported across Central Alabama counties including Chilton, Autauga, Elmore, Coosa, and Tallapoosa. The US National Hurricane Center warned of storm surges, flooding, and tornado risks in affected regions. Alabama Governor Kay Ivey has not confirmed details of the incident.
