The center of the storm came ashore on the Florida coast, in the Destin area, on Friday evening. The event was reported by both The Guardian and Euronews.
The Guardian, citing the National Hurricane Center, reported that Isaias made landfall as a Category 2 hurricane, with winds of up to 105 miles per hour, equivalent to approximately 165 kilometers per hour.
According to The Guardian, the National Hurricane Center identified 9:30 p.m. Eastern time as the time of landfall.
Euronews reported that strong winds and heavy rain were recorded in Florida during the storm’s passage. The same source also reported the National Weather Service’s warning of a potentially life-threatening storm surge along parts of the Gulf Coast.
The Guardian reported that the governors of Mississippi, Alabama and Florida declared states of emergency in response to the storm’s arrival.
The available information therefore describes an impact affecting Florida and a storm-surge risk reported along parts of the Gulf Coast, while the overall extent of the effects remains dependent on updates from authorities and weather services.
The landfall near Destin marks the main passage described in the reports provided: the storm’s intensity and coastal conditions were reported, respectively, by the National Hurricane Center and the National Weather Service through the cited sources.
