Isaias Dims the Gulf Coast
NASA has shared a composite image showing that the Gulf Coast area was less affected by Isaias, a storm, at night compared to its impact during the day. The difference in effects is evident from the satellite imagery captured on October 11, 2026. A comparison of the nighttime and daytime images highlights the reduced impact.
Why it's good news: This good news for readers suggests that storms like Isaias may have less severe consequences when they occur at night.
