PENSACOLA, Fla. — Hurricane Isaias left four people dead after it came ashore Friday night near Destin as a Category 2, the Associated Press and CBS News reported. Two of the dead were in Florida and two in Alabama. On Monday morning more than 150,000 customers in Florida were still without power. In Milton, a tree came through a roof while a woman was in her room. “I never expected to be 77 years old and go through this,” Phyllis Hennebery told CBS News. Roofs were gone from apartment houses. The remnants spun off at least eight tornadoes in Georgia and the Carolinas. In western North Carolina, more than half a foot of rain flooded roads.

The Associated Press said the rain and the flood risk had moved into the central Appalachians and the mid-Atlantic. The same wire reported that the Pacific storm Rachel was battering Southern California with heavy surf. The States desk files both coasts. It is no longer a landfall story.
