Hurricane Isaias roars ashore on US East Coast

Hurricane Isaias slammed into North Carolina Monday, bringing life-threatening storm surges, as the entire US eastern seaboard battened down, fearing flash floods and destructive winds. The Category 1 hurricane, packing sustained winds of 85 miles per hour (140 kilometres per hour), made landfall in the southern part of the state near Ocean Isle Beach at 11:10 pm (0310 GMT Tuesday), the National Hurricane Center said. It said storm surges could generate inundations three to five feet (one to 1.5 metres) above ground level.
