Hurricane Isaias Leaves 4 Dead as Videos Show Extensive Storm Damage

Hurricane Isaias made landfall near Destin, Florida as a Category 2 storm and has since weakened to a post-tropical cyclone, leaving at least four people dead across Florida and Alabama. Deaths included two from falling trees, one from generator carbon monoxide exposure, and one from a vehicle crash involving a downed tree in Barbour County, Alabama.

President Trump approved emergency declarations for Georgia and Alabama, while Florida Governor Ron DeSantis declared a state of emergency across 30 counties. Over 764,000 customers remained without power as of Saturday afternoon, with Florida accounting for the majority of outages, and roughly 16,000 utility workers were staged ahead of the storm.

DeSantis told Fox and Friends Weekend that restoration crews began clearing obstacles at 3 a.m. and that flooding risk remained high in the days following landfall. Unverified social media video showed roof damage in Pensacola and flooding in Okaloosa County.
