Isaac Pushes North as Gulf Coast Recovers From Hurricane
As Isaac moved up the Mississippi valley on Saturday severe storms and two tornadoes touched down in Illinois. In Louisiana thousands remained without power and evacuees could not return to flooded areas while Entergy faced criticism for slow restoration. Jefferson Parish officials cited slow power restoration even as crews from 24 states worked long shifts to restore electricity. St. Tammany Parish ordered evacuations south of the Pearl River diversion canal amid flood fears. Gulf platforms reopened and over 4,000 people stayed in shelters statewide.
