@cbsmiami: Hurricane Isaias continues to move across the Gulf, threatening a Florida Panhandle landfall and prompting residents to evacuate ahead of dangerous storm surge flooding and possible tornadoes. Emergency officials urged people to leave by noon Friday, as businesses closed and tourists cut their vacations short. Escambia County authorities ordered evacuations of Pensacola Beach and other flood-prone areas, while residents rushed to secure their homes and belongings before the storm arrived. Some residents prepared to ride out the hurricane, while others headed inland to stay with friends and family. Residents with homes previously damaged by past hurricanes worked to secure loose items and avoid potential flooding. Emergency managers in Escambia County opened two shelters for evacuees and provided free bus service to help residents reach safety. #florida #hurricane #hurricaneseason #isaias
