What the coverage shows
Most outlets frame the story as the Gulf Coast bracing for Isaias, with repeated emphasis on storm surge, heavy rain, damaging winds and landfall timing. BBC and ABC highlight forecast detail and projected impacts, while PBS adds that Isaias is now a Category 2 storm and mentions tornadoes; the Guardian is the only outlet to quote evacuation advice, and AP is the only one to foreground a live Florida governor news conference. The New York Times is the most human-scale, focusing on residents deciding whether to leave or stay.
