Tropical Storm Isaias Kills At Least 5 People, Leaves Millions Without Power Across East Coast
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tropical Storm Isaias swept rapidly up the east coast on Tuesday,
spawning tornadoes, uprooting trees, killing at least five people and
leaving millions without power. Isaias is the earliest ninth named-storm
ever recorded in the Atlantic, with 2020's hurricane season on pace to
break the previous record set in 2005.
