Hurricane Isaias lashed the Bahamas Friday as it churned toward Florida, bringing new dangers to a US state suffering record deaths
The category one storm, packing winds of 75 miles an hour, gained strength Thursday night after sweeping over the Dominican Republic.
The eye of the storm was expected to pass over the southeastern Bahamas sometime during the day Friday and reach the central Bahamas during the night. Florida governor Ron De Santis signed an emergency declaration for counties on the exposed Atlantic coast. Bahamas Prime Minister Hubert Minnis on Thursday relaxed strict stay-at-home orders imposed because of the coronavirus to allow residents to prepare for the hurricane.
It is the Bahamas’ first hurricane since Dorian, a maximum-strength Category 5 storm last year that devastated two islands, pummeling them for three days.Isaias left a shambles in Puerto Rico, downing trees and electric lines and inundating houses as it cut a path through the island on Thursday.
