Tropical Storm Isaac

As the southeast coast of the United States braces for Hurricane Florence, other major storms are forming in the Atlantic and attacking other places. One example is Isaac.

Tropical Storm Isaac briefly got to hurricane strength earlier this week before weakening back to tropical storm levels. On Thursday, it began to batter the Lesser Antilles islands in the Caribbean, according to Accuweather.

Isaac is expected to travel through the Caribbean south of Puerto Rico, possibly striking Jamaica sometime between Sunday and Monday, bringing heavy rainfall.

"Residents and visitors of Jamaica will need to closely monitor the track of Isaac as well, as the storm may pass very close to the island by the end of the weekend, bringing with it heavy rain and gusty winds," reported Accuweather.
