Americans along the Gulf Coast are evacuating and preparing for Hurricane Isaias as the powerful Category 3 storm closes in, with a dangerous landfall expected tonight. Isaias is projected to come ashore between Gulf Shores, Alabama, and Destin, Florida. Category 3 hurricanes can cause “devastating damage,” according to the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale. Some coastal areas could see 6 to 9 feet of storm surge, while parts of the Florida Panhandle could get up to 15 inches of rain. Damaging winds, widespread power outages, and tornadoes are also possible as the storm pushes inland. Get the latest updates on the storm from @​foxweather : ▻
