After Hurricane Isaias, neighbors reckon with damage to their homes in Pensacola

Hurricane Isaias tore through Pensacola, Florida, knocking down trees, power lines, and parts of homes, including the Welcome Mat Mobile Home Park where residents like Cher Stanturf found a wall of their trailer gone. More than 448,000 Florida electricity customers lost power, with some counties, including Santa Rosa at 90 percent, seeing nearly total outages; over 400,000 customers were still without power by mid-afternoon.

Neighbors spent the morning clearing debris and comparing notes on near-misses and losses, including a family that had already lost a home to Hurricane Milton and a business to Hurricane Helene before relocating to Pensacola. Gov. Ron DeSantis said officials were inspecting the grid. Two deaths were reported in Florida following the storm.
