@wvtm13news: Hurricane Isaias has strengthened to a Category 2 as the storm continues its path toward Alabama. On Friday, it will take aim at the Alabama and Florida Gulf Coast by Friday night. Expect significant wind, rain and severe weather impacts Friday night and Saturday across Alabama. Life-threatening storm surge is expected from the Mississippi River mouth to Suwannee, Florida. Hurricane-force winds could cause prolonged power outages across parts of the Florida Panhandle, southern Alabama, and southern Mississippi. Damaging wind gusts are possible across central and northern Alabama and parts of Georgia. Secure outdoor items, avoid driving high-profile vehicles, and prepare for power outages. Heavy rain from Isaias may cause flash and urban flooding along the central Gulf Coast and across much of the Southeast Friday through the weekend. #hurricane #weather #isaias #alabama #florida #mississippi #alert #louisiana #severeweather #storm #tropics #gulf
