Weakened Tropical Storm Isaias lashes virus-hit Florida

Tropical Weather Florida

Bands of heavy rain from Isaias have lashed Florida’s east coast on Sunday, with the tropical storm strengthening slightly in the evening on its way up the eastern seaboard.

Officials dealing with surging cases of coronavirus in Florida kept a close watch on the storm that was weakened from a hurricane to a tropical storm on Saturday afternoon but still brought heavy rain and flooding to Florida’s Atlantic coast.
