The episode as NWS JAN wrote it up.
Tropical Depression Nine formed in the Atlantic, east of the Lesser Antilles, on the morning of August 21, 2012. Twelve hours later, Tropical Depression Nine had strengthened into Tropical Storm Isaac. Isaac continued to track through the eastern Caribbean Sea and Florida Straits while maintaining high end tropical storm strength. Just before noon central time on the 28th, Isaac was located about 75 miles south-southeast of the mouth of the Mississippi River(or about 160 miles southeast of New Orleans) and was found to have reached hurricane strength with winds of 75 mph. An outer rain band from Isaac brought some showers to portions of the ArkLaMiss during the afternoon of the 28th, while the center of Isaac was still churning in the Gulf of Mexico. At 6:45pm on August 28th, Hurricane Isaac made a brief landfall along the coast of Southeast Louisiana in Plaquemines Parish. Maximum sustained winds were 80mph at this landfall. Isaac did not remain over land for long as he was back over water again by 9:00pm that same evening. Isaac made his second landfall along the coast of southeast Louisiana, just to the west of Port Fourchon, around 2:15am August 29th, again with maximum sustained winds of 80 mph.
Isaac moved very slowly to the north and northwest over the course of August 29th, which made for prolonged impacts. Forward motion of about 5 mph lead to tremendous flooding issues for both Louisiana and portions of Mississippi south of I-20. Around noon on August 29th, Isaac was downgraded to a Tropical Storm, but this was not much relief to the many residents who were being inundated with rain and wind. Storm total rainfall across portions of Marion County indicated at least 10 to 15 inches fell. Numerous homes and buildings were flooded and some water rescues occurred in Lamar, Marion and Clarke counties. Further to the north, flooding issues were not quite as bad with about 5 to 7 inches of rain falling from the I-20 corridor and north. Tropical storm force wind gusts were noted as far north as Bolivar County, with the Golden Triangle region not seeing winds reach more than tropical depression strength. The worst of the wind was felt generally along and south of an axis from Marion County to Adams County. Numerous trees were down in Adams County, leaving many without power for several days. Eighty percent of the roads were blocked in Franklin County due to downed trees.
With all of the rain that fell, some of the area rivers filled quickly. Minor flooding was recorded on the lower Pearl River at Rockport and Monticello, as well as on Bouie Creek at Hattiesburg and Tallahala Creek at Laurel. The biggest river impact in the Jackson Hydrologic Service Area was on Black Creek at Brooklyn. Black Creek entered moderate flooding and finally crested at 26.71 feet on August 31st at 5pm. This will go down as the second highest crest in history for this particular river and forecast point. This river flooding caused damage to 15 homes both upstream and downstream of the river gage.
The winds and flooding were not all Isaac brought as a couple of tornadoes touched down in eastern Mississippi. Two tornadoes, one in Clarke County and one in Lauderdale County, occurred during the morning of August 30th. Both were rated EF-1 with winds around 100 mph. The tornado in Clarke County, near Crandall, resulted in 3 injuries to residents of a mobile home. One death attributed to Isaac occurred in Holmes County when a 64 year old woman was killed by a tree falling on her car. Isaac finally moved out of the region by the afternoon of the 30th, and was downgraded to a tropical depression by late afternoon on the 30th as it continued to track to the northwest into Missouri and the Ohio Valley.

NORTHWEST OVER SOUTHEAST LOUISIANA WITH SUSTAIN WINDS OF 70 MPH
MOVING NORTHWEST AT 6 MPH.
LATEST NHC GUIDANCE BRINGS IT NORTHWEST ACROSS EASTERN LOUISIANA BY
EARLY THURSDAY BEFORE MOVING TO NORTHWEST LOUISIANA BY THURSDAY
EVENING...THEN TO WESTERN ARKANSAS BY EARLY FRIDAY WITH POSSIBLE
WOBBLES ALONG THE WAY. AREA RADARS WERE CONTINUING TO SHOW HEAVY
SPIRAL RAIN BANDS PUSHING ACROSS SOUTHERN AND INTO CENTRAL
MISSISSIPPI. LATEST VAD WINDS SHOW 30 TO 50 KNOTS IN THE LOWEST
LEVELS. HAVE OPTED TO CONVERT SOME OF OUR TROPICAL STORM WATCH AREAS
TO TROPICAL STORM WARNINGS FROM THIS EVENING UNTIL 18Z THURSDAY. THE
WARNING WILL EXTEND FROM BASTROP THROUGH MOST OF JACKSON METRO THEN
SOUTH TO PRENTISS THEN TO LAUREL. WILL PUT IN A WIND ADVISORY FOR
AREAS NORTH OF THE TROPICAL STORM WARNING AREA UNTIL 18Z.
FOR THE SHORT TERM MOST MODELS HAVE A MORE WESTERN ROUTE FOR ISSAC
ESP THE LATEST NAM...EXCEPT THE 12Z EURO AND UK. THIS EURO WAS PRETTY
CLOSE TO NHC GUIDANCE TRACK. SO FOLLOWING THE NHC GUIDANCE TRACK.
FOR TONIGHT THE ENVIRONMENT WILL CONTINUE TO FAVOR HEAVY DOWN POURS
IN THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH AREA. THE POTENTIAL FOR SOME TORNADOES WILL
CONTINUE THIS AFTERNOON INTO TONIGHT IN THE SPIRAL BANDS ALONG WITH
GOOD SHEAR THAT WILL PIVOT AROUND THE TROPICAL CYCLONE CENTER.
EXPECT STRONG HEAVY SPIRAL BANDS TO CONTINUE TO AFFECT THE REGION
DURING THE NIGHT WITH ACCOMPANYING TROPICAL STORM LIKE WINDS. THE
BEST WIND IMPACT WILL BE ACROSS THE SOUTHWEST PORTION OF THE REGION.
MODEL POPS LOOKED A LITTLE LOW...SO KEPT WITH CURRENT HIGH POPS AND
HEAVY RAINFALL IN THE GRIDS. IT WILL BE A HUMID NIGHT WITH LOWS IN
THE LOW TO MID 70S.
FOR THURSDAY AND THURSDAY NIGHT...AS ISSAC CONTINUES TO LIFT NORTH
AND GRADUALLY WEAKEN. THERE WILL BE ENOUGH SHEAR IN THE LOW TO MID
LEVELS FOR A TORNADIC POTENTIAL ACROSS THE REGION...SINCE WE ARE ON
THE EAST SIDE OF ISSAC. MODELS SHOWS SOME DECENT INSTABILITY ACROSS
THE EAST SIDE OF THE REGION WITH MUCAPES OF AROUND 2000 J/KG. THIS
IS ESP TRUE IF THERE WILL BE SOME BREAKS FOR INSOLATION DURING THE
AFTERNOON IN THE EAST. HEAVY RAIN POTENTIAL WILL CONTINUE WITH THE
SYSTEM PULLING RICH TROPICAL MOISTURE DIRECTLY NORTH OUT OF THE
GULF. EXPECT MORE TROPICAL STORM LIKE WINDS FOR THE SOUTH HALF
DURING THE MORNING WITH THE PRESSURE GRADIENT OF ISSAC FROM THE WEST.
THE TROPICAL WINDS SHOULD TAPER OFF BY THURSDAY AFTERNOON. HIGHS FOR
THURSDAY WILL BE FROM THE LOWER TO MIDDLE 80S. WENT CLOSE TO GMOS
GUIDANCE. FOR THURSDAY NIGHT THE LAST OF THE HEAVY RAINS WILL AFFECT
THE NORTHWEST DELTA. SO HAVE OPTED TO CONTINUE THE DELTA PORTION OF
THE WATCH UNTIL 06Z FRIDAY. LOWS FOR THURSDAY NIGHT WILL BE IN THE
LOWER TO MIDDLE 70S. WENT CLOSE TO THE WARMER NAM GUIDANCE.
FOR FRIDAY AND FRIDAY NIGHT...ISSAC WILL BE PULLING FARTHER AWAY
FROM THE REGION FROM WESTERN ARKANSAS THROUGH SOUTH CENTRAL MISSOURI.
STILL EXPECT SOME GULF INFLOW ACROSS THE REGION. THE HEAVY RAIN POTENTIAL
WILL HAVE DIMINISHED...BUT THERE WILL BE ENOUGH LIMITED INSTABILITY
FOR SCATTERED THUNDERSHOWERS FOR THE PERIOD. HIGHS ON FRIDAY WILL BE
AROUND 90 AND LOWS WILL BE IN THE LOW TO MID 70S. WENT CLOSE TO A BLEND
OF GMOS AND MAV GUIDANCE./17/
.LONGTERM...SATURDAY THROUGH NEXT WEDNESDAY...THE REMNANTS OF ISAAC
WILL CONTINUE TO LIFT NORTH...EXITING THE REGION... INTO THE
UPCOMING WEEKEND. LEFT IN ISAAC'S WAKE THOUGH WILL BE PLENTY OF
MOISTURE SPREAD OVER THE REGION...AS TROUGHING SETS UP OVER MUCH OF
THE EASTERN HALF OF THE UNITED STATES. ALL OF THIS...IN ADDITION TO
DAYTIME HEATING...WILL RESULT IN MAINLY AFTERNOON ISOLATED TO
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND STORMS REMAINING IN THE FORECAST EACH
DAY...WITH SOME ACTIVITY PERHAPS LINGERING INTO THE NIGHT TIME
HOURS. OTHERWISE...LOOK FOR A RETURN TO WARM AND HUMID CONDITIONS
HEADING INTO THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK. /19/

ACROSS SOUTHERN AND CENTRAL MS LATE THIS AFTERNOON...BUT EXPECT
ACTIVITY TO BE GRADUALLY LIFTING NORTHWARD THROUGH THE EVENING

WILL GRADUALLY BECOME MORE WIDESPREAD AND COVERING UP THE WHOLE
REGION FROM EAST TO WEST TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY. NORTHEAST TO EAST
WINDS WILL BE ESPECIALLY GUSTY TODAY SOUTH OF I-20...WITH WINDS
INCREASING IN ALL AREAS TONIGHT AND TOMORROW WHILE VEERING AROUND
MORE TO THE SOUTHEAST IN GRADUAL FASHION. THE STRONGEST WINDS THIS
