Isaias lashes the Gulf Coast in CBS's Saturday report
The storm coverage drew an unusually large audience, while a separate report on the search for Amelia Earhart also made a strong start.
Why this story? The video opened at a pace of 265,319 views a day, 19 times a normal first day on this channel (13,902).
Isaias lashes Gulf Coast with powerful wind and rain
Blues performances and a conversation with Garrett Hedlund share CBS Mornings' Saturday lineup, but the Gulf Coast storm report drew a much larger audience than those uploads.
"Isaias lashes Gulf Coast with powerful wind and rain" covers a storm that made landfall on the northern Gulf Coast as a Category 2 hurricane, then weakened to a post-tropical cyclone within hours, according to CBS. The report reached nearly 200,000 views before its first full day was over, well beyond the roughly 14,000 a regular upload usually draws on its first day.
Another Saturday report also drew an unusually large audience, with a very different subject: "Uncovering the mysterious fate of aviator Amelia Earhart." That segment follows archaeologists trying to resolve the aviator's disappearance during her attempt to fly around the globe. Alongside the immediate weather news, CBS's Saturday reporting made room for a mystery that has endured for generations.
