Isaias soaks beaches in Virginia, damages building

Rough weather battered parts of Virginia as Tropical Storm Isaias swept through the region.

A building was heavily damaged in Suffolk, Virginia and heavy rains and wind kept the beach barren in Virginia Beach, Virginia.

Tornadoes were confirmed by the national weather service in Virginia, Maryland and Delaware and New Jersey.

Isaias (pronounced ees-ah-EE-ahs) was upgraded again from a tropical storm to a Category 1 hurricane Monday evening.

Early Tuesday the storm, downgraded again, was centered about 25 miles (40 kilometers) northwest of Greenville, North Carolina.

It was moving quickly north northeast over eastern North Carolina at 26 mph (41 kph) and this general motion accompanied by an increase in forward speed is expected through Tuesday.
