What the coverage shows
Both outlets frame the story around the storm’s impact in the US Southeast, especially power outages and damage in Florida and Alabama. Al Jazeera’s headline is the only one that foregrounds two deaths and 800,000 without power, while Fox News emphasizes that Isaias “barrels into” the region and says “more than 900,000” were without power, with its extract adding Georgia and recovery efforts.
