Hurricane Eșayas Causes Fatalities and Power Outages
Hurricane "Eisayás," classified as a Category 2 storm, struck the eastern and southern coasts of the United States, causing four fatalities and widespread power outages affecting over 600,000 homes and businesses in the region. The hurricane was accompanied by strong winds, heavy rains, and flooding, leading to extensive damage and property destruction. Authorities evacuated workers from oil and gas platforms in the Gulf of Mexico, where approximately 63% of oil production was halted, and around 57% of gas production was suspended, significantly impacting the oil market. An emergency release of oil reserves was announced to support supplies. Government emergency measures were put into effect. The storm has since weakened to a tropical storm, with forecasts predicting rising water levels and continued dangerous conditions. "Eisayás" is the first hurricane of the Atlantic hurricane season for 2026, arriving later than usual, partly attributed to the climate phenomenon "El Niño."
