Hurricane Isaias leaves trail of destruction across the US Gulf Coast

Residents across the southeastern United States have begun cleanup efforts after Hurricane Isaias, the first Atlantic tropical cyclone of the 2026 season, made landfall near Destin, Florida, on Friday. At its peak, nearly 800,000 homes and businesses lost power, with about 356,000 still without electricity in southern Alabama and northwestern Florida. The storm caused four deaths, structural damages, and power outages, with ongoing efforts to restore electricity and address public safety concerns.
