Hurricane Isaias has strengthened, prompting storm tracking and preparedness concerns. In a separate legal development, a judge has ordered that evidence related to Christa Pike's execution be preserved, a move watched closely by those contesting her death sentence. The two stories, top items in NPR's morning newsletter, are drawing attention as the storm approaches US coastlines and the capital case moves forward.
