The storm left four dead and more than 500,000 customers without power as it moved inland, officials said.
- Isaias, the first hurricane of the 2026 Atlantic season, made landfall in the northern Gulf Coast near Destin, Florida, on Friday night as a Category 2 storm, but within hours had weakened to a post-tropical cyclone.

- The weakening storm is still forecast to bring powerful winds, flash flooding and storm surges to a large swath of the Southeast through the weekend. It is expected to dissipate on Sunday.
- Tens of thousands of people have evacuated the region, officials said, and more than 700,000 customers are without power across the region.
