Caption: Four Dead And Thousands Without Power After Hurricane Isaias Lashes US. Four people have died and hundreds of thousands were left without power after Hurricane Isaias battered the southern U.S. with powerful winds and heavy rain. Two deaths were reported in Florida and two in Alabama, including people killed when trees fell on their homes. Around 500,000 people were without electricity across several states as the storm brought flooding, fallen trees and damage to buildings. Isaias made landfall in Florida with maximum sustained winds of 105mph before weakening into a post-tropical cyclone. Alabama, Florida and Georgia declared states of emergency, while thousands of residents in Florida and Alabama were ordered to evacuate. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis warned that flooding remained a major risk, while rescue teams helped people trapped in vehicles by rising water. Alabama Governor Kay Ivey confirmed two deaths and warned residents about the threat of tornadoes caused by the storm's strong winds and rain. Isaias is expected to weaken as it moves north-east, although forecasters warned parts of Georgia and the Carolinas could receive up to 10 inches of rain.
