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 as a Gulf Coast hurricane story, with early coverage focused on the storm bearing down, then on landfall, wind, flooding and power outages. The Guardian US and PBS NewsHour foreground preparation and expert forecasts, while CNBC and one 60 Minutes item stand out for stressing oil production and refinery risks. NPR is the only outlet here to lead with deaths, and Reuters is the only outlet represented by a live beach feed rather than a text summary.
