Hurricane Isaias downgraded after making landfall in Florida

Hurricane Isaias made landfall on Friday night along the northern Gulf Coast of Florida, bringing heavy rains, powerful winds, and the threat of severe flooding. States of emergency were declared in Florida, Alabama, and Georgia due to potential storm surges reaching up to 9 feet.

As the system moved further inland, it was downgraded from a hurricane to a post-tropical cyclone. It currently continues its march northward across the Southeastern United States as one of three active storm systems affecting North America.
