Isaias is just shy of hurricane strength as it crawls toward the Carolinas, just off the Atlantic coast of Florida. Forecasters say both North and South Carolina could experience heavy rain, storm surge and possible tornadoes Monday.
Elizabeth Whittemore , along with her father James, sister Jordan and mother Susan, stand at the end of the South Jetty in Fort Pierce on Sunday, Aug. 2, 2020, watch the waves crash over the rocks brought by the high winds of Tropical Storm Isaias churning off the coast.
Parts of the Carolinas were due for up to 6 inches of rain, storm surge and possible tornadoes, the advisory stated. Forecasters said Isaias was located 280 miles south-southwest of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. It was moving north at 9 mph . Authorities closed beaches, parks and virus testing sites, lashing signs to palm trees so they wouldn’t blow away. DeSantis said the state is anticipating power outages and asked residents to have a week’s supply of water, food and medicine on hand. Officials wrestled with how to prepare shelters where people can seek refuge from the storm if necessary, while also safely social distancing to prevent the spread of the virus.
In Indian River County, north of West Palm Beach, Florida, emergency shelters were clearing out Sunday after Isaias was downgraded to a tropical storm.Officials told TCPalm newspapers that 38 people registered at three schools used as shelters. Those areas now must be cleaned to ensure no traces of the coronavirus remain as teachers and staff report Monday to prepare for the upcoming school year.
