Hurricane Isaias aftermath
The disturbance comes just days after Hurricane Isaias made landfall as a Category 2 hurricane in the Florida Panhandle near Destin, Florida.
Gov. Ron DeSantis said during a storm briefing on Saturday that officials had confirmed two storm-related deaths in Florida.
Isaias became the first hurricane of the 2026 Atlantic storm season. It's also one of the latest-forming hurricanes in history.
Hurricane season officially ends Nov. 30.
