Gulf coast residents prepare ahead of Hurricane Isaias landfall – video
Boarding up windows and filling sandbags and fuel tanks are part of routine hurricane preparation for residents of the Gulf coast. Isaias strengthened into a category 3 hurricane on Friday morning as it barreled toward the US Gulf coast, and states of emergency have been declared in Alabama, Florida
60 Minutes
What the coverage shows
Most outlets focus on Isaias approaching or hitting the Gulf Coast, with The Guardian US and both 60 Minutes items emphasizing preparation, landfall, and then the storm’s effects. 60 Minutes is alone in foregrounding on-the-ground reporting in Alabama and Florida and later the aftermath in video form, while The Guardian US alone mentions states of emergency; the New York Times and Al Jazeera extracts, by contrast, shift to Simon and Rachel or another Mexico-focused hurricane entirely.
