1
the powerful center of Hurricane Isaias made landfall, as Hannah said, near Destin as a Category 2 hurricane last night.
2
Yeah, the storm was packing winds of 100 miles per hour when it came ashore.
3
This is the first hurricane landfall in the U .S since Hurricane Milton.
4
Isaias is the fourth named storm to make landfall in the U .S this season and the strongest.
5
The other three were short -lived tropical storms.
6
Isaias is the first and only hurricane of the current Atlantic season to date.
7
The storm is still spreading rain and damaging wind gusts, as Hannah said, as it moves inland today.
8
Tornadoes and flooding are possible for parts of Florida and southern Georgia.
9
Well, just look at this video coming in from Destin.
10
You can see storm surge pushing water right over a fence and across a beach walkway.
11
A reminder just how quickly conditions can turn dangerous along the coastline.
12
Storm surge, they were talking about how that will be one of the main concerns of this storm.
13
It's often the most dangerous part of a hurricane.
14
It can rise fast and catch people off guard, even in areas that don't normally flood.
15
Officials are urging anyone in low -lying
16
or beachfront areas near destined to stay away from the shoreline until conditions are declared safe.
17
We'll, of course, continue to monitor conditions along the coast and bring you updates as we get them.
18
Of course, you heard Governor DeSantis yesterday say we hide from wind run from storm surge this right here,
19
a perfect example of what he was trying to to drive home to people who live in that area.
20
We also have video that was shot yesterday Friday near a gas station in Fort Walton Beach.
21
Take a look at the stop sign being pushed
22
and moved by the force of the wind as heavy rain and gusty conditions move through the area during the daytime hours.
23
We were able to get a good look at just how strong those winds were.
24
We did have reports of wind speeds Hannah just talked about
25
them in the you know 110 117 105 depending on where
26
you were that's clear this kind of wind damage residents in
27
our area dealt with as the storm system moved through
28
and there are a lot of videos
29
and pictures we have of gas station awnings like this
30
that didn't weather well in this storm we'll be showing you more as we work our way through the morning
31
but the wind gusts definitely doing damage and
32
that is responsible for a lot of those power outages we're seeing today as well
33
and what you're looking at right now this is video from okaloosa island strong winds here sent trees thrashing back
34
and forth a wind of course whistling through the area an
35
early sign of what was to come as the storm approached
36
the florida panhandle this was just a taste of the conditions
37
residents would feel as the system moved closer to the coast
38
take a look at the flag not only is the flag kind of holding on for dear life
39
but the flagpole basically stretching and bending from the force of the wind along with those, of course, those tropical trees there, the palm trees there, just,
40
you know, flapping in the wind.
41
And this, again, illustrating the sheer wind power that came with East Aeas.
42
Okaloosa County residents, a heads up this morning.
43
Okaloosa County plans to open its first point of distribution, which we are calling POD, for residents this morning.
44
The site will provide bottled water, tarps, and meals ready to eat or MREs.
45
Now, at this point, we are still waiting for For the locations to be announced, we will bring you those as soon as that information comes out.
46
But again, 10 a .m this morning, the first point of distribution to open in Okaloosa County.
47
And these distribution sites are for Okaloosa County residents who need supplies.
48
We will have additional PODs, additional points of distribution that are expected to open across the county as more supplies arrive.
49
We will, of course, bring you all of that information, let you know where those are and what time those will open.
50
But officials are warning folks to sign up to stay off the roads until absolutely necessary
51
and also to sign up for Alert Okaloosa at alertokaloosa .com.
52
Or you can text OkaloosaFL to 888 -777 to get your name on the list for all of these supplies.
53
And as crews work to restore power across the Gulf Coast, Florida Power and Light is also warning residents to watch their step today.
54
The utility says a week of rain before Hurricane Isaias soaked up the ground, loosening tree roots across the region.
55
That means some trees and power lines that survived the storm could still come down.
56
That is the potential that could happen out there.
57
Foxton's Brendan Kirby asked FPL spokesperson David Peten what people should watch out for as they assess damage in
58
and around their homes this morning.
59
There's also some that are wobbly that didn't fall that can always fall after the fact.
60
So we just make sure that people are safe and careful and use their best judgment on what they're doing.
61
He also says even if a tree or line doesn't look dangerous, it could still come down without warning.
62
He's urging anyone surveying damage to treat all downed lines as live.

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?
Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
