America faces deadly storm and outages
E sassia storm Isaias hit the southern United States, resulting in at least three deaths and causing power outages for hundreds of thousands of homes and facilities. The storm weakened from a Category 2 hurricane to a tropical storm and then to a post-tropical cyclone as it passed through Florida and Alabama, bringing heavy rains and strong winds reaching 165 km/h. It caused significant damage, including uprooted trees and destroyed homes. The storm also disrupted oil and gas production in the Gulf of Mexico, halting about 63% of operations, which removed approximately 1.3 million barrels per day from the market. The states declared a state of emergency and ordered evacuations over fears of destructive winds and high waves. President Trump canceled his visit to Alabama. Isaias is considered the first storm of the hurricane season that began in June and was unusually affected by the El Niño climate phenomenon.
