Aftermath of Hurricane Isaias

Isaias is post-tropical, but its rain is not finished. In FOX 13 Tampa Bay's "Aftermath of Hurricane Isaias," meteorologist Valerie Mills explains the continuing downpours while drawing connections with Hurricane Milton's landfall two years earlier.

That shifts the station's coverage from the approach of the storm to what follows it. Mills's update puts the two hurricanes in historical context without treating the end of Isaias's tropical phase as the end of its weather impacts.

The short drew about 110,000 views in its first 12 hours, already far beyond the audience a regular FOX 13 short attracts over a full first day.

Alongside Mills's weather explanation, the station has posted Governor Ron DeSantis's news conference from a Waffle House in Milton, Florida, discussing efforts following Isaias. The forecast and the response now sit side by side in its storm coverage.
