Meridian, Miss. (Queen City Newsfeed)Isaias is gone from our area. Now many people in East Mississippi are turning to something they love on a fall Saturday. That is SEC football.
Isaias came ashore near Destin, Florida, around 8:30 p.m. Friday. The storm has since fallen apart. What is left of it is moving through central and north Alabama.
Isaias was a big storm. It was the first hurricane of the 2026 Atlantic season. It also formed later in the year than almost any first hurricane in 121 years.
