US President Barack Obama Tuesday warned of significant damage and flooding from Tropical Storm Isaac, telling people in its path to take the "big storm" seriously and follow directions.
"Now is not the time to tempt fate ... You need to take this seriously," Obama said in a televised statement at the White House, as Isaac threatened to bring hurricane force winds to the storm-haunted gulf coast.
As a secondary precaution, President Obama ordered the immediate ecacuation of Tampa and surrounding areas.
