Some of the most violent wind gusts from the hurricane were recorded in Milton, Florida, where one woman said she was lying down in her room when a tree fell on her home.
Following Hurricane Isaias, a tropical disturbance was brewing in the Atlantic. However, there is little chance of formation, experts say.
Footage has been shared on social media showing the devastation caused by Isaias, which crashed into the Florida coast as a Category 2 hurricane on Friday, though it has since weakened to a post-tropical cyclone according to the National Hurricane Center (NHC).
The disturbance, located a few hundred miles west of the Cabo Verde Islands, was producing a large but disorganized area of showers and thunderstorms. The storms extended into the western Cabo Verde Islands, National Hurricane Center forecaster Andrew Hagen said. There is currently no threat to Louisiana.
An unusual phenomenon for a tropical cyclone is likely what caused most of the damage on what is typically the less tumultuous side of the storm.
Photos and video capture the hurricane's devastating aftermath as flooded streets, damaged homes and scattered debris reveal the storm's full impact.
Isaias has the potential to bring damaging winds, long-duration power outages, flash flooding, deadly storm surge and tornadoes to the coast. Inland areas in Alabama won’t get off that easy, either, and could face power outages, flash flooding and tornadoes as the storm moves northward over the state.
