Looks like hurricane season may be underway.
The National Hurricane Center is forecasting Tropical Storm Isaac to reach hurricane strength and hit around New Orleans late Tuesday or early Wednesday. It's a slow moving tropical storm at this point, and it's going to bring a lot of rain to the Crescent City.
Tropical Storm Isaac pushed its way into Cuba on Saturday after sweeping across Haiti's southern peninsula, where it caused flooding and at least three deaths, adding to the misery of a poor nation still trying to recover from the terrible 2010 earthquake.
Isaac's center made landfall just before midday near the far-eastern tip of Cuba, downing trees and power lines, and the storm's surge flooded the seaside Malecon in the picturesque city of Baracoa.
Forecasters said Isaac poses a threat to Florida Monday and Tuesday, just as the Republican Party gathers for its national convention in Tampa. It could eventually hit the Florida Panhandle as a Category 2 hurricane with winds of nearly 100 mph.
Lots of rain, flooding and tornadic activity.
This is what Debby brought to various places on the Gulf Coast of Florida.
The surge was very strong, sunk a number of boats, destroyed many docks, flooded entire bays along some parts of the Gulf.
