Hurricane Isaac
"Hurricane Isaac" redirects here. For other storms with this name, see Tropical Storm Isaac.
Hurricane Isaac was a slow-moving tropical cyclone that caused severe destruction along the northern Gulf Coast of the United States in late-August 2012. Prior to becoming a hurricane, Isaac attained one of the lowest barometric pressure measurements, on August 28, for any storm below hurricane strength, with a pressure of 976 mbar (hPa).[1] The ninth tropical cyclone, ninth named storm, and fourth hurricane of the 2012 Atlantic hurricane season, Isaac developed from a tropical wave located east of the Lesser Antilles on August 21, strengthening into a tropical storm later that day. Isaac passed over Hispaniola and Cuba as a strong tropical storm, killing at least 34 people in Hispaniola, before it entered the Gulf of Mexico.
