Hurricane Isaias may have arrived late in the Atlantic hurricane season, but the torrential rains and 105-mile-per-hour winds the storm brought to the U.S. Gulf Coast over the weekend were a sharp reminder of these weather events’ power to cause chaos.

Hurricane Isaias made landfall as a Category 2 hurricane on Saturday, spawning tornadoes, destroying buildings and downing power lines across the Gulf region. As of Tuesday, the storm has killed at least four people, while thousands have remained without power.
