NEW YORK - Isaias regained hurricane strength on Monday night just hours before it was due to make landfall in the Carolinas and churn its way up the United States East Coast towards Washington, Philadelphia and New York, the National Hurricane Centre said.
"Only gradual weakening is anticipated after Isaias makes landfall in the Carolinas and moves across the US mid-Atlantic" region on Monday night and Tuesday, the National Hurricane Centre said. New York City braced for a potential storm surge in lower Manhattan, mindful of devastation caused by Superstorm Sandy in 2012.
Swift-water rescue teams, high-water vehicles and helicopters were standing by in North Carolina, and storm shelters were preparing to accommodate evacuees with at least 115 square feet per person to assure Covic-19 social distancing.
