NEW ORLEANS â Hurricane Isaac crashed ashore in southeast Louisiana on Tuesday, bringing high winds and soaking rains that pose the first test for multibillion-dollar flood defenses put in place in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina devastated the U.S. Gulf Coast seven years ago.
As of Wednesday morning, a hurricane watch is in effect for Puerto Rico, the US Virgin Islands, and the south coast of the Dominican Republic, according to the National Hurricane Center in Miami. Currently, Isaac is still a tropical storm with maximum sustained winds near 45 mph. But meteorologists say Isaac is likely to strengthen into a hurricane in the next 24-48 hours. It's too early to say whether Isaac will make a beeline for Tampa, on Florida's west coast.
