Live Updates: Nearly 900,000 without power as Isaias pushes across Southeast

What it was like to endure Hurricane Isaias’ eyewall

What was Hurricane Isaias is now pushing further inland, bringing punishing winds, heavy rain and potentially life-threatening flooding to Georgia, Alabama, North Carolina, South Carolina and eventually the mid-Atlantic. Isaias smashed into the Gulf Coast as a Category 2 hurricane Friday night, making landfall near Destin, Florida, at 8:30 p.m. CT.

Today, communities across that region will begin to assess the damage and start recovery efforts. We'll bring you the latest on the continuing threat and the aftermath.

Traveling this weekend? Here are the trouble spots According to FlightAware.com, there have been nearly 600 flight delays into and out of the U.S. this morning, with more than 250 cancellations. Many of those are flights being impacted by Isaias' remnants.

Torrential rain and high winds are impacting major airports like Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson airport right now. Other airports experiencing delays are Nashville, Charlotte, Pensacola and Tallahassee.

On Sunday, the storm’s remnants will travel north, impacting airports across the mid-Atlantic and Northeast. We could see delays in Washington, New York City and even Pittsburgh from the heavy rain and wind expected.

Road travel will also be treacherous. Heavy rain will make for dangerous conditions across the Southeast on Saturday, and mid-Atlantic, Northeast and Ohio Valley on Sunday.

Florida National Guard hits blocked roads before dawn Isaias left a lot of debris behind, and the Florida National Guard didn't wait for daylight to start on it. By 5:50 a.m., soldiers were already out in Washington County clearing roads.

Remember the vehicle checks we showed you yesterday? This is what those crews were gearing up for. They were staged ahead of the storm so they could reach hard-hit communities fast.

Officials are asking people to stay home if they can today, and this is a big reason why. The fewer cars out there, the faster these crews can get roads open. If you do have to go out, give them plenty of room to work and a little extra patience.

High wind warnings remain from Georgia to Virginia Even though Isaias is no longer a tropical system, high winds remain as the storm’s remnants travel inland.

High wind warnings are in place from central Georgia to parts of Virginia. This includes places like Atlanta, Huntsville and Asheville.

Expect sustained winds up to 25 mph, with gusts as high as 50 mph.

The high wind warning remains in effect until Sunday morning.

Massive trees down in Escambia County, FloridaEmergency response teams spent the night working to clear roads across Escambia County, where Isaias made landfall in Destin. You can see the massive trees that were taken down in this Facebook post shared by the county.

Nearly 130,000 customers are without power in Escambia this morning.

Flash flood warning for AtlantaA flash flood warning has been issued for Atlanta, including parts of Clayton, DeKalb, Fulton, Gwinnett, Henry and Rockdale Counties.

This flash flood warning is in effect until 1:15 p.m. EDT Saturday. Rainfall of 1-3 inches has fallen already and an additional 2-3 inches are possible.

Urban areas with poor drainage, highways and low lying areas should see some degree of flooding. It only takes 12 inches of running water to carry away most cars.

The National Weather Service always warns, “Turn around, don't drown when encountering flooded roads. Most flood deaths occur in vehicles.”

Major flood threat for millions from Florida to Ohio Isaias’ remnants will bring a significant flood threat to millions across the Southeast today.

There is a level 4 out of 5 risk for places like Atlanta, Athens and Greenville. We could see widespread rainfall totals of 3 to 5 inches, with isolated locations picking up as much as 10 inches.

The flood threat stretches from Florida to Ohio, including Tampa, Charlotte, Nashville and Cincinnati.

Isaias rips roof off motel in Pensacola One huge gust tore the roof clean off a motel in Pensacola, Florida, where peak wind gusts reached 102 mph. This footage was captured by a local radio station as Hurricane Isaias made landfall Friday night.

It’s one of many dramatic scenes from the ground as the storm barreled ashore.

Atlanta getting slammed with wind and rainHeavy rain and gusty winds are hitting the greater Atlanta metro as Isaias moves across the Southeast. The city is under both a high wind warning and a flood watch.

The high wind warning calls for gusts to 50 mph through Sunday at 8 a.m. EDT.

The flood watch calls for rainfall of 1-4 inches with isolated totals reaching 8 inches.

Take extra time driving this morning or consider just staying inside today and watching the rain from under your favorite blanket.

Where is Isaias now? Isaias is located about 100 miles south of Birmingham, Alabama, moving north at 14 mph. The storm will move through the center of Alabama Saturday before drifting to the northeast into the Appalachians Sunday.

As storms move inland like this, where the center of the storm is located becomes less relevant as wind and rain spread well beyond the center of the storm and the cone of uncertainty. Heavy rain is ongoing from Alabama to the Carolinas. A flood threat remains across much of the Southeast Saturday and will spread to the mid-Atlantic Sunday.

Nearly 900,000 without powerMore than 858,000 homes and businesses are without power so far this morning, according to PowerOutage.us. Here are their latest numbers from the three states with the most outages:
