Hurricane Isaias made landfall near Destin on the Florida Panhandle around 8:30 p.m. local time as a Category 2 storm with 105-mph sustained winds. The storm weakened in the hours ahead of landfall tonight. Isaias is the first hurricane of an unusually quiet Atlantic season.

It's 9:15 a.m. The wind is roaring at 110 miles per hour (177 kph); the sound is deafening. Dust swirls through the air. We are watching a single-wide manufactured home rock back and forth as it is pounded by turbulent wind.
