Isaias makes landfall as strong Category 2 hurricane in Destin
- Isaias, the ninth named storm of the 2026 Atlantic Hurricane Season made landfall as a strong Category 2 storm around 9:30 p.m. in Destin, Florida.
- Isaias' progression into a hurricane on Wednesday, Oct. 7, marked the latest date in 121 years for the Atlantic season, a delay meteorologists attribute to a strong El Niño that dampens tropical system growth.
- Tens of thousands evacuated as Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey declared states of emergency for more than two dozen Florida counties and 40 Alabama counties, respectively.
- "Hide from the wind, but you run from the water," DeSantis warned, as forecasters warn of up to 9 feet of storm surge threatening coastal areas.
- The storm will move across Alabama into the Tennessee Valley on Saturday and Sunday, where it will likely weaken into a post-tropical system, shifting the primary threat from coastal surge to inland rainfall.
