Hurricane Isaias made landfall near Destin, Florida, on Friday evening, leaving hundreds of thousands of Gulf Coast customers without power. The storm came ashore as a Category 2 hurricane with sustained winds of 105 mph, and a NOAA gauge at Panama City Beach measured water 5.6 feet above mean higher high water.
