The Tropical storm known as Isaias has officially stormed into the category of a Category One Hurricane. This hurricane is slowly moving towards the US East Coast, especially North Carolina. On Friday morning, the hurricane seemed to be moving towards the Turks and Caicos, bringing heavy shower on the Bahamas. According to major reports, places like the Dominican Republic, Haiti, and other such Caribbean nations might have recurring mudslides and flash floods.

The Hurrican Isaias is moving at a speed of 17 mph, with winds blowing steadily at 80 mph.
