Hurricane Isaias: From the Gulf to the Mountains — Landfall, History & Where It's Headed

The full story of Hurricane Isaias, the first hurricane of the 2026 Atlantic season. It formed in the southwestern Gulf Oct 6, became a hurricane Oct 7–8 (tying the 1905 record for latest first hurricane), peaked as a Category 3 with 120 mph winds and 958 mb on Oct 9, then made landfall near Destin, Florida, at about 8:30 p.m. CT Friday as a Category 2 with 105 mph winds and 971 mb. We cover the power outages, the at least four deaths, and where the remnants are right now: flash flooding from the Appalachians to Washington, Philadelphia and New York, possible tornadoes in Virginia and the Carolinas, and dissipation by Monday.
