The storm brought torrential rain and strong winds, tearing away rooftops and building facades in Florida’s Panhandle. The resulting infrastructure damage and power outages across multiple states could impact regional supply chains and necessitate significant recovery spending.

Tropical Storm Isaias is forecast to affect Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida, with remnants potentially reaching New Jersey.
