Hurricane Isaias has made landfall along Florida’s Gulf Coast, unleashing life-threatening storm surge, hurricane-force winds and torrential rain. The danger is far from over, as the storm’s impacts spread inland across the Southeast and beyond.

Hurricane Isaias has already been battering the western Florida Panhandle and Southeastern Alabama with fierce winds and rapidly rising water levels.

An increasing fight with shredding wind shear was expected to knock wind speeds down but forecasts now point to a major hurricane at landfall.

The National Hurricane Center projects that the storm will make landfall as a major hurricane along the Florida's Gulf Coast on Thursday.

Hurricane Isaias continued its path toward a landfall tonight along the U.S. Gulf Coast, as much of the Southeast braced for impact.

"There really doesn't seem to be a central place for people to go to navigate that."

Gov. Ron DeSantis said the state was preparing for a worse-than-forecast scenario, while Sen. Rick Scott urged residents in evacuation zones to “get the hell out.”
