Two dead as Isaias weakens to post-tropical cyclone after striking Florida panhandle

Two people have died and nearly a million are without power after Hurricane Isaias made landfall on Florida's panhandle, bringing heavy rain and flooding.

The deaths occurred after trees fell on homes in Escambia county, Florida, and Birmingham, Alabama, as the storm weakened to a post-tropical cyclone.

Isaias is expected to bring heavy rain and gusty winds to the Carolinas and Virginia, with potential flooding and power outages.
