Isidore Comtinuen Upgrades Kyle To Hurricane
Isidore Comtinuen upgraded Tropical Storm Kyle to a hurricane as the season's third. The storm sat 590 miles southeast of Bermanda and posed no immediate land threat. Louisiana Gov. Foster reported at least 18 million dollars in Louisiana damage, including 3.7 million in lost sugar cane, with federal disaster aid being sought. Over 140000 people lost power. Entergy serves much of the state with about 50000 still offline Thursday. A tornado tied to Isidore struck near Graceville Florida injuring a farmer, while another storm damaged more than 20 homes in Santa Rosa Beach. Mississippi floodwaters blocked responders from reaching a 67-year-old man who died of cardiac arrest. The storm weakened to a tropical low near Jackson Mississippi late Thursday and water receded in Delacroix as residents faced flooding with minimal wind damage.
