Hurricane Isaias made landfall on Florida's western panhandle on Friday evening as a Category 2 storm with 110 mph (175 kph) winds, threatening life-threatening storm surge and flooding of up to 9 feet (2.7 metres) in some areas. Florida, Alabama and Georgia declared states of emergency, and both Florida and Alabama ordered mandatory evacuations, with Alabama clearing non-residents and tourists from key counties. Isaias is one of three storm systems hitting North America this weekend, driven by El Niño-warmed waters; it is the first Atlantic hurricane of a season delayed by El Niño — the first time in more than 30 years no hurricane formed before October — and is expected to affect Alabama, Georgia and Louisiana.
