DMCA | Tropical Storm Isaac began hitting South Florida with rain and strong winds Sunday, forcing the organizers of the Republican National Convention in Tampa to alter the schedule amid fears of widespread flooding. The first day of the convention was canceled, but Republicans were hopeful Sunday that Isaac's slight shift westward could help them avoid further disruption to the event. Despite some optimism, there seems to be little chance Isaac won't continue to cause headaches for Republicans down the road as forecasters say it's likely the storm will strengthen, probably to a hurricane, and hit the Gulf Coast somewhere between Florida and Louisiana by the middle of the week. |
