Hurricane Isaias Floods the Panhandle, A Russian Oil Deal, ICE Shooting in New York

Hurricane Isaias came ashore near Destin, Florida as a Category 2 storm with 105-mile-per-hour winds, leaving more than 800,000 customers without power across Florida, Alabama, and Georgia. The storm moved so quickly inland that forecasters warned of flash flooding, mudslides in the mountains, and tornado risks stretching from Florida's Big Bend region through Alabama, Georgia, the Carolinas, and into the Tennessee Valley. Meanwhile, President Trump announced on his Truth Social platform that Russia would begin supplying diesel to the U.S. for the first time since the invasion of Ukraine, and a New York man shot by ICE agents while driving his five-year-old son home from school has sparked outrage and legal battles.

Hurricane Isaias Hits the Gulf Coast

NPR's Debbie Elliott reported from Crestview, Florida, about 30 miles inland from where the hurricane made landfall. She described pine trees swaying and whacking against her hotel building, wind gusts topping 70 miles per hour, and sheets of rain pounding the window "like a fire hose." The National Hurricane Center confirmed the storm came ashore with 105-mile-per-hour winds, enough to snap trees and power lines, knock down street signs, and rip awnings from buildings. Early morning images showed huge oak trees uprooted.
