Residents along the Gulf Coast are preparing for Hurricane Isaias, with potential winds of 115 mph and storm surges of up to 7 feet. In Alabama, residents are stocking up on fuel and water as they prepare. “Everybody's getting fuel. Everybody's buying water. Everybody's scurrying around like ants,” said Alabama resident Richard Weekley. In Mississippi, residents of Harrison County are filling sandbags ahead of what forecasters say could be a major storm. “It looks like it's going to be a big, big water storm, namely from storm surge and heavy rains,” said Jamie Rhome of the National Hurricane Center. “And when those two coexist, we're going to get potential for big time flooding.” Read the full story from CBN's Amber Strong: https://cbn.com/news/us/gulf-coast-residents-prepare-hurricane-isaias-storm-threatens-flooding-powerful-winds Become a partner with CBN: https://go.cbn.com/utdxP Want more news from a Christian Perspective?
