Summary
The mayor said flooding reached around 3 feet in some places.The Brunswick County Sheriff's Office tweeted that numerous trees were down and urged people to stay off the roads and away from power lines.The Carolinas and Mid-Atlantic regions were expected to see around 3 to 6 inches of rainfall, with isolated maximums of 8 inches, according to the hurricane center.Monday night New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy declared a state of emergency starting at 5 a.m. Tuesday and told residents to stay off roads unless absolutely necessary.Ken Graham, director of the National Hurricane Center, said in a video briefing Monday afternoon that Isaias was expected to bring "torrential rainfall" as well as storm surge and winds."That's a nighttime landfall, and that's particularly dangerous," because it can make it hard to see flooding and other effects, Graham said.Coastal areas north of the Carolinas could also expect possible "flash and urban flooding, high winds, dangerous storm surge, coastal flooding, life-threatening surf, rip currents, and severe thunderstorms with tornadoes to portions of the Eastern U.S.," the weather service said.Hurricane #Isaias UpdateIsaias has regained strength and is a Category 1 hurricane.Strong winds, storm surge, heavy rains and isolated tornadoes are all possible over the next few hours.Now is the time to head indoors and stay indoors.
