Hurricane Isaias struck the Gulf Coast, killing two people and leaving damage and power outages in parts of the southeastern United States, according to news reports.

More than 850,000 households in Alabama, Florida and Georgia lost electricity, the BBC reported. Photos published by WWLTV showed damage across the Florida Panhandle, while FOX 5 Atlanta reported downed trees and continuing storm threats in the Atlanta area.

The hurricane also disrupted air travel. Pensacola International Airport planned to close its terminal Friday morning ahead of the storm, WEAR-TV reported. Charlotte’s airport experienced major flight delays and broader travel disruption, according to WSOC-TV. Atlanta’s airport, described by 11Alive as the world’s busiest, also made preparations for the hurricane.

The Wall Street Journal reported that two people died after Isaias crashed into the Gulf Coast.

WHAT THE EDITOR DID

The second model checked the writer's draft against the same sources and changed it before publication. Struck words were in the draft; underlined words are its corrections.

WHAT IT FLAGGED editor revise: The story needed narrower wording for the damage claim, correction of the WSJ death phrasing, and removal of source-commentary. - "leaving widespread damage and power outages across parts of the southeastern United States": The sources support damage in the Florida Panhandle, power outages in Alabama, Florida and Georgia, and Atlanta-area storm threats, but not the broader characterization of widespread damage across parts of the southeastern United States. - "The Wall Street Journal reported that two people died after Isaias moved into the Gulf Coast.": The WSJ headline says two were dead after Isaias crashed into the Gulf Coast, not after it moved into the Gulf Coast. - "Further details about the deaths were not given in the reports’ headlines.": This is commentary about the source material itself.
