Hurricane Isaias hits Florida as Southeast Indian American households face outages and flooding

Hurricane Isaias made landfall in Florida late Friday before weakening into a post-tropical cyclone.

Reports cite two to four storm-related deaths across Florida and Alabama.

The storm knocked out power for thousands to hundreds of thousands of residents, with one report noting Category 2 landfall near Destin, Florida.

Rain and flooding remain threats as the system moves inland across the Southeast.

For Indian-origin families and students in Florida, Alabama, and across the Southeast, the storm cuts power and poses lingering flood risks.
