The sources confirm that Hurricane Isaias caused at least four deaths in Florida and Alabama in October 2026, but none names Ira Jacob as a victim, and People reports the victims' identities were not shared publicly.

The host relays this claim without endorsing it. It counts as passed on, not against the post.

What was said

… I get a lot of these on X, and I try as much as I can to incorporate it into the show, but we really have an amazing set of listeners and viewers out there. So, at Jayson HRT, Jay S U N H R T, he says, Dan, I hope this finds you well. Is there any possibility you can mention my uncle, Ira Jacob, who recently passed from Hurricane Isa? Yes, I was in the name. He was a P one listener and talked about you constantly. He was a Brooklyn boy and loved your show. Thank you for being you. Know, thank you, Ira.

What we found

Context. Multiple tier1 sources (AP, Reuters, BBC) report at least four Isaias-related deaths in Florida and Alabama, caused by falling trees, a generator-related carbon monoxide incident, and a vehicle crash.[1][2][3]

Context. People reports that officials confirmed four storm deaths but that their identities have not been shared publicly, so no source ties any named individual to the storm deaths.[4]

Context. The only Ira Jacob-named records found are a 2022 Find a Grave entry for Ira Jacob Fistell and a 2024 obituary for Ira Jacobson in Miami, neither of which relates to Hurricane Isaias.[5][6]

Context. The claim's source is the viewer's message in the post itself, which cannot corroborate the claim; the post's own wording is "Hurricane Isa", and the claim says it without the qualifier.
