Hurricane Isaias has killed four people and left more than 650,000 people without power.

What the coverage shows

All three outlets focus on Isaias’ landfall and the power outages, but they do not frame the damage the same way. CNN foregrounds the aftermath inland and says at least two people died, while BBC News leads with four dead and thousands without power. The Independent uses two different live-tracker headlines, with one early item referring to “Hurricane Simon” and expected landfall in Mexico, and a later item saying Isaias made landfall near Destin, Florida.
