Isaias Leaves 700,000 without Power Across 4 States After Deadly Landfall
The storm weakened to a post-tropical cyclone as crews worked to restore service and assess damage across four states, officials said.
- Hurricane Isaias made landfall early Saturday as a Category 2 storm near Destin, Florida, leaving four people dead and about 670,000 residents across Florida, Alabama, Georgia, and Mississippi without power as the system weakened to a post-tropical cyclone.
- As the first hurricane of the 2026 Atlantic season, Isaias produced gusty winds well inland, with forecasters warning that flash flooding, heavy rain, and tornado risks will persist as it moves toward the Atlantic.
- Power outages remain widespread across the Southeast, with tracking firm PowerOutage.us reporting 420,000 customers in Florida, 190,000 in Alabama, 43,000 in Georgia, and 17,000 in Mississippi affected; Pensacola airport, Florida's 10th largest, sustained damage and remains closed to commercial flights.
- The Energy Department authorized an emergency exchange of up to 4 million barrels of crude oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to address supply disruptions, while producers Shell and Chevron are redeploying personnel to Gulf assets despite about 69% of oil output remaining shut Saturday.
- Forecasters expect the tornado threat to continue Saturday across the Florida Panhandle, Georgia, and the Carolinas, while a separate Pacific Ocean storm named Rachel is moving toward Baja California, leaving 7,000 people without power in California.
