At least nine people, including a 5-year-old autistic girl, were killed as Tropical Storm Isaias battered the U.S. East Coast with rain and fierce winds after making landfall as a hurricane in North Carolina.

The U.S. National Hurricane Center said hurricane conditions are expected in Bermuda overnight and into Thursday morning.

A winter blizzard in the Red River Valley Basin may have closed roads and brought near-zero visibility, but it will have minimal impact on the flood situation.
