This story is from the archive. It was covered between 9 October 2026 and 9 October 2026, and nothing below has been updated since. See what is happening now.

The hurricane could tighten a fuel market that is already facing big disruptions from the wars in Eastern Europe and the Middle East.

What the coverage shows

Most outlets converge on Isaias reaching the Gulf Coast as a hurricane bringing strong winds, heavy rain, flooding and storm surge, with AP, The Independent and CBS all leading on landfall and impacts. The Guardian US is the only one to foreground preparation and states of emergency, while CNBC alone focuses on the storm’s effect on U.S. oil production and refineries. CBS also is the only outlet to note the system later weakened to a post-tropical cyclone.
