The Panhandle Continues to Recover from Isaias as More Deaths Are Reported

  • UPDATE: Florida's western Panhandle continues recovery from Hurricane Isaias, with nearly 54,000 homes and businesses still without power as of Tuesday. Governor Ron DeSantis confirmed six deaths, with only two directly from the storm and others from recovery efforts like a car accident or improper generator use.

  • UPDATE: Hurricane Simon, a Category 2 storm as of Monday, October 12, continued to impact west-central Mexico, causing at least one death in Guerrero from a wall collapse. Heavy rain (3-5 inches) is also projected for the U.S. Southern Plains through Friday.

  • UPDATE: Post-Tropical Storm Rachel, which peaked as a Category 3 hurricane, led Long Beach to declare a local emergency due to unprecedented coastal impacts like high tides and erosion. Mandatory evacuation orders issued October 9 remain for specific homes.
