Isaias kills at least four, leaves hundreds of thousands without power
At least four deaths in Florida and Alabama have been blamed on Isaias, which made landfall near Destin, Florida, Friday night as a Category 2 hurricane and weakened to a post-tropical cyclone Saturday. Two people died when trees fell on homes, and a man in Escambia County, Florida, was found dead in a closed garage with a running generator. More than 700,000 customers across the Southeast were without power Saturday afternoon, and flood watches cover parts of the Southeast.
