First up today, from Florida to Louisiana, the watch was on for Isaac.
Early Sunday, this was listed as a tropical storm with wind speeds up to 65 miles per hour.
But forecasters were saying Isaac could strengthen to a hurricane today.
And that's when it was expected to move across the Florida Keys.
Around Florida, people started getting ready for the storm last week.
They filled sandbags and stocked stuck up on supplies, things like bottled water, butteries and flashlights.
The storm's projected path showed it moving up into the Gulf of Mexico, west of Tampa.
That's why the start of the Republican National Convention which is happening in Tampa is being delayed until tomorrow.
Officials are hoping that'll make it safer for delegates.
Tropical storm Isaac moved across the Caribbean over the weekend, one of the countries it hit there was Haiti.
Martin Savidge examines the impact that the storm had on Haiti.
A machete is Haiti's answer to the problem, and almost everybody seems to have one.
The trees that blocked the road have also pulled down telephone and power lines.
We clear one obstacle only to find more line ahead.
Water is an in even greater danger, threatening to rise faster than it can run off.
You can see the water is coming down through this cut.
And what they want to make sure is that you don't get any debris, the branches, the tree limbs, things like that.
Because if they were to clog in any way, then you've got a real problem of flooding in the community.
So this makes perfectly good sense.
Then comes the flooding.
Soon, it gets worse.
This is what was feared.
And this is exactly what's happening.
The water, rushing down off the hills, finds its own channel, makes its own way.
In this case, it just happens to be right run through a neighbourhood.
Eventually, we're on the road again, and make out our way to Jacmet, where ironically the power may be out, but the city's traffic light is still functioning.
We find our way to the town's two evacuation shelters.
“So we're just going to have a look inside and see the conditions where people spent the night.”
And you can see the conditions here are pretty miserable at best.
I mean, there's no electricity, the only thing they can say they have is a shelter over their head, at least they're semi-dry.
What about food? He says no food.
There is food at the next shelter, two plastic buckets of peanut butter and jelly.
To feed close to 1,000 people, misery is about the only thing that there's plenty of.
In northwest Pacific Ocean, hurricanes are called typhoons.
And the Japanese Island of Okinawa is dealing with a massive one.
In fact, officials say this is the strongest typhoon that hit Okinawa in more than 50 years.
The island is used to typhoons, one storm chaser told CNN that all the houses there are built with concrete, in order to protect against these storms.
But typhoon Bolaven is more than 1,200 miles from end to end.
It's about 20 times bigger than the entire island of Okinawa.
There are concern that the typhoon will creat huge waves that could wash out the highways along the coast.
First up today, from Florida to Louisiana, the watch was on for Isaac.
今天首先我們從佛羅里達州到路易斯安那州,去看看艾薩克的境況。
Early Sunday, this was listed as a tropical storm with wind speeds up to 65 miles per hour.
周日早些時候,它被稱為熱帶風暴，風速高達每小時65英里。

而那個時候它將登陸佛羅里達。
Around Florida, people started getting ready for the storm last week.
而在佛羅里達,人們開始準備應對上周的風暴。
They filled sandbags and stocked stuck up on supplies, things like bottled water, butteries and flashlights.
他們裝填沙袋并儲存食品,諸如瓶裝水,電池和手電筒等。
The storm's projected path showed it moving up into the Gulf of Mexico, west of Tampa.
風暴預計路徑顯示它會登陸到墨西哥灣西部的坦帕。
That's why the start of the Republican National Convention which is happening in Tampa is being delayed until tomorrow.
這就是為什么在這里召開的共和黨全國代表大會被推遲到明天的原因。
Officials are hoping that'll make it safer for delegates.
官員希望代表們更為安全。

Because if they were to clog in any way, then you've got a real problem of flooding in the community.
