Hurricane Isaias kills four people across southeastern United States

Hurricane Isaias hit the Florida Panhandle late Friday and moved into Alabama, killing at least four people and cutting power to hundreds of thousands of homes.

Two people died when trees fell onto their houses, one in the Pensacola area and one in Birmingham. A man in Florida was found dead in his garage where a generator was running, which suggests he died from carbon monoxide poisoning. A fourth person died in a car crash in Alabama after trees fell across a road.

Wind speeds reached over 100 miles per hour in the Panhandle. Trees and power lines blocked many roads. Roofs, fences, and signs were also damaged across the region. The storm had weakened before it arrived, but residents said the destruction was still serious.
