1. Smentita The National Hurricane Center in Miami said Isaias had maximum sustained winds around 80 mph (129 kph) and was moving east-northeast at 9 mph early Thursday morning.

   IA The Fox10 report says the National Hurricane Center's 1 a.m. Thursday advisory gave Isaias maximum sustained winds of 75 mph, not about 80 mph as claimed. Its movement of east-northeast at 9 mph matches the claim, but the wind speed is a different number in a core detail.

2. Smentita Isaias developed more than four months into the Atlantic hurricane season and was short by one day of tying the 1905 record for the area's latest-forming hurricane.

   IA The claim says Isaias fell one day short of tying the 1905 record, but the Wikipedia result states that it reached hurricane status on October 8 and tied the record for the latest first hurricane since 1905. The NOAA result also describes it as the latest first hurricane on record, which is consistent with a tie rather than a near miss.
