Isaias strengthens to hurricane and is expected to drive damaging winds and rain up East Coast
(Worthy News) – Hurricane Isaias has regained strength and is now set to barrel up the entire East Coast, bringing with it wind and the potential for flooding.
Isaias spent some time at hurricane strength before weakening to a tropical storm after departing the Bahamas. On Monday, the system restrengthened into a Category 1 hurricane packing 75 mph sustained winds as it moved north-northeast at 16 mph, according to the National Hurricane Center’s 8 p.m. update. The storm is expected to make landfall near the border of North and South Carolina Monday night.
Parts of the Carolinas are under hurricane warnings while nearly the entire coastal stretch from South Carolina to Maine has been put under a thunderstorm warning, as Isaias is expected to gain strength as it moves onshore and begins to lose power from the warm waters of the Atlantic Ocean.
