Storm surge floods Destin as Isaias comes ashore nearby
Original: Storm surge breaches Destin, Florida, as Isaias makes nearby landfall
Storm surge pushed ashore in Destin, Florida, as Tropical Storm Isaias made landfall nearby, flooding streets and beaches in the Panhandle city. Emergency officials warned residents to stay off coastal roads as water levels rose, with heavy rain and gusty winds accompanying the surge. Isaias, the ninth named storm of an unusually active Atlantic season, was expected to continue moving along or near Florida's east coast, prompting tropical storm warnings and preparations across the peninsula.
Why now: A named storm making landfall and causing coastal flooding always draws wide attention, and this early-season hurricane activity is being closely tracked across Florida.
