Watch: Shocking videos show the moment Hurricane Isaias hit the Gulf Coast

Hurricane Isaias struck the Gulf Coast on Friday night as a Category 2 storm, killing at least four people across Florida and Alabama, CBS News reports. The network's landfall video brings together footage of the storm hitting the coast, before the debris cleanup and damage assessments that fill its follow-up coverage.

The upload drew about 740,000 views in its first day. A regular CBS News video usually attracts tens of thousands over that period, making this an unusually large early audience even for the national broadcaster.

CBS's subsequent reporting turns from the moment of impact to the consequences. Jason Allen covers destructive winds, extensive flooding and tornadoes as Isaias moves north through the Southeast. A separate aftermath report focuses on residents facing scattered debris and hundreds of thousands of people without power, with Grant Gilmore providing the forecast.
