Four dead as Isaias weakens to post-tropical cyclone after striking Florida panhandle

Some of deaths came from falling trees as half a million people without power and rain and flooding still a concern

At least four people were reported dead on Saturday amid Isaias after it made landfall late on Friday on Florida's panhandle as a category 2 hurricane, according to authorities.

The storm also took down trees, knocked out electricity for hundreds of thousands and flooded highways - but as Saturday evening approached, the region was reopening.
