Isabel weakened Friday after crashing into the eastern United States, knocking out power to more than 3.5 million customers in six states and claiming at least four lives as it swept north, emergency officials said early Friday. Downgraded from a hurricane to a tropical storm, Isabel was still packing maximum sustained winds of up 50 mph (80 kph), the National Hurricane Center said. Flooding is a major concern across the region this morning, forecasters said. Storm surge flooding of 4 to 6 feet above normal tide levels are still possible in the Chesapeake Bay and the nearby rivers. At 5 a.m. EDT, the storm's center was about 80 miles south of Johnston, Pennsylvania -- near Pittsburgh -- and was moving to the north-northwest at 21 mph (33 kph). Tropical storm force winds extend 345 miles from the storm's center. (CNN) |
