Which regions are at risk

Isaiah's tropical storm hit Haiti and the Dominican Republic and left hundreds of thousands of people without electricity in Puerto Rico. Now, on July 31st, the hurricane is heading towards the Bahamas and Florida. As a result, it can cover most of the east coast of the United States.

On Thursday, July 30, after crossing the Dominican Republic, Isaiah escalated to a Category 1 hurricane. On Friday, July 31, in the morning, it hit the southernmost islands of the Bahamas in the form of rain and wind, the speed of which reached 120 km / h.

It is expected that the hurricane will strike the Bahamas and the Turks and Caicos Islands in the form of rain (precipitation is promised at the level of 10-20 cm). So the region faces potentially life-threatening floods on Friday and Saturday, July 31 and August 1, according to the National Hurricane Watch Center (NHC).

On Saturday or Sunday, August 1 and 2, the hurricane is expected to approach the east coast of Florida. Because of this threat, the state has decided to close some of the COVID-19 test sites. Rains can hit South Florida by Friday evening, July 31.

По данным NHC, с ночи пятницы, 31 июля, до понедельника, 3 августа, на южном и восточном побережьях Флориды ожидаются дожди, уровень осадков составит от 5 до 10 см, в среднем — 12 см.

Most of the Bahamas can be hit by a hurricane on Friday morning, July 31st.

Оповещения об урагане были изданы для части Атлантического побережья Флориды — от севера Дирфилд-Бич до линии Волусия-Бревард Каунти (Volusia-Brevard County) — района, включающего Бока-Ратон, Уэст-Палм-Бич, Мельбурн и Спейс-Кост.

The area north of Ocean Reef to Sebastian Bay, including Miami, is also at risk.

What was earlier

В четверг, 30 июля, ураган обрушился на Пуэрто-Рико, а до этого — на Доминиканскую Республику. Сначала он напоминал тропический шторм. Однако все оказалось гораздо серьезней: в Пуэрто-Рико в результате шторма 300-400 тысяч человек остались без электричества, сообщил метеоролог из Сан-Хуана Габриэль Лохеро (Gabriel Lojero).

На острове выпало от 12 до 25 см осадков, что привело к ливневым паводкам и оползням. По словам Лохеро, дна женщина пропала без вести после того, как ее машину снесло. «Многие районы были погружены под воду», — отметил он.

More rain is expected in the Dominican Republic and Haiti on Friday 31 July; by the end of the storm, some areas of the island can receive up to 30cm of precipitation, NHC said.

Storm during a pandemic

Florida closed several COVID-30 test sites on July 19 ahead of the storm. They will remain open in 11 counties, nearly all of which are on the west coast or Panhandle, the state's Department of Emergency Management said. They noted that the rest of the landfills will be open from 8 am on August 5.

The storm comes at an already difficult time when America, like the rest of the world, is fighting the coronavirus pandemic. According to Johns Hopkins University, nearly 30 new cases of the disease were reported in Florida on July 10, the highest rate for a single state in a day.

Мэр округа Майами-Дейд Карлос Гименес (Carlos Giménez) заявил в четверг, 30 июля, в интервью CNN: он обеспокоен тем, что эвакуированные лица будут находиться в социально изолированном положении, если ураган обрушится на штат. «Послушайте, если у нас здесь будет сильный ураган, то нам придется эвакуировать большое количество людей, а затем еще больше, — сказал он. — Это заставляет волноваться». Мэр добавил, что важно «устранить в первую очередь непосредственную опасность», чтобы уберечь людей от неприятностей.

At this point, it is difficult to predict with what intensity the hurricane will hit America and how much damage it will cause. As of Friday morning, July 31, no such information has been provided.

Some weather forecasts indicate that the storm will slow down and approach very close to the Florida coast on Saturday and Sunday, August 1 and 2. On Monday and Tuesday, August 3rd and 4th, he is due to approach the Carolinas region.

In any case, the storm could hit most of the US east coast next week. Potentially by early Wednesday, August 5, a severe tropical storm is expected in northern Maine.

Сказать детальнее, как будет развиваться ураган, в NHC не могут. «Но есть большая вероятность того, что ураган будет приближаться к восточному побережью США, прогноз продолжает показывать этот сценарий», — добавили в NHC в пятницу, 31 июля, утром.

More about hurricane

Isaias (pronounced Isaiah) became the ninth storm to be named in 2020.

Now that it has been named Isaiah, it can be said to be the earliest storm that begins with the letter "I". The previous record was set on August 7, 2005.

Tropical storm warnings have appeared even before it formed. The reason it was called “Potential Tropical Cyclone 9,” according to CNN meteorologist Chad Myers, is because the storm did not have a clear center of circulation. Instead, the weather system was stretched out.

According to Philip Klotzbach, a research fellow at Colorado State University, in the last week of July, two hurricanes formed in the Atlantic Basin - Isaiah and Hannah.
