2 people died and more than 800 thousand people were left without electricity due to Hurricane Isaias in the USA

Meteorologists reported that the hurricane, which made landfall near Destin, Florida, late last night at a speed of approximately 170 kilometers per hour, turned into a category 2 storm, then lost its speed even more as it moved towards Alabama during the night and turned into a post-tropical cyclone.

Local authorities announced that more than 800 thousand people in total, including the state of Georgia, were left without electricity due to Isaias.

In a statement made by the Jefferson County Emergency Management Agency, it was shared that one person died when a tree fell on a house in Birmingham, Alabama. One death from the same cause was confirmed in Escambia, Florida.

Meteorologists in the states in question reported that up to 38 centimeters of rain was expected in some places and warned of tornadoes, strong winds and heavy rain.

Local authorities warned local people to be careful, reporting that floods and tornadoes were possible.

There has been no hurricane making landfall in the United States for nearly two years since Hurricane Milton, which occurred in October 2024.
