Hurricane Isaias brought strong winds and heavy rain to Florida Friday night, with gusts reaching 96 mph reported at Pensacola Bay.
\n\nFox News shared footage featuring FOX Weather senior correspondent Robert Ray reporting from Destin as strong winds moved through the area.
\n\n“Hurricane-force winds are hammering Destin, Florida,” the outlet wrote. “FOX Weather Senior Correspondent Robert Ray is braving the blast as dangerous Category 3 Hurricane Isaias bears down on the Gulf Coast just hours before landfall.”
\n\nThe report showed the storm’s effects reaching coastal communities before its center came ashore. Isaias had strengthened into a Category 3 hurricane earlier Friday, but the National Hurricane Center’s 8 p.m. Eastern advisory placed it at Category 2 strength, with maximum sustained winds of 110 mph.
\n\nFOX Weather’s subsequent coverage described the hurricane as making landfall along the northern Gulf Coast. Its report did not provide a confirmed time and location for the center crossing the shoreline.
\n\nDestin and nearby Fort Walton Beach were under a flash flood emergency Friday night as heavy rain threatened life-threatening flooding, according to FOX Weather. The outlet reported a wind gust of 96 mph at Pensacola Bay and a gust of 72 mph in Orange Beach, Alabama.
