Isaias, again a tropical storm, spawns wild inland weather

(AP) — Tropical Storm Isaias is spawning tornadoes and dumping rain over eastern Virginia and Maryland after making landfall as a hurricane near Ocean Isle Beach, North Carolina.

The National Hurricane Center says strong winds, heavy rain and more tornadoes are a concern as the storm moves over the mid-Atlantic states and into New England later Tuesday.

Isaias made landfall as a minimal hurricane with top winds of 85 mph near Ocean Isle Beach, North Carolina. Duke Energy reported hundreds of thousands of power outages as heavy rains and winds battered the coasts in the Carolinas.
