Hurricane Isaias Hits Florida at 110 mph, Demanding Evacuations

Category‑2 Hurricane Isaias slammed into the Florida panhandle last night, delivering 110‑mph winds and up to 9‑foot storm surge that threaten life‑threatening flooding.

Florida, Alabama and Georgia declared emergencies and ordered mandatory evacuations. Over 350,000 Floridians lost power, while extra 170,000 in Alabama faced outages.
