 NHC Tropical Cyclone Report
Hurricane Isidore was a slow-moving tropical cyclone that hit western Cuba as a category 1 hurricane (on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale) and the northern Yucatan Peninsula as a category 3 hurricane.
Isidore's peak intensity of 110 knots at 1800 UTC 21 September, was a compromised between adjusted aircraft flight-level winds and satellite estimates.
Later, when a weakened Isidore was heading for Louisiana, it reached 55-knot winds based on data from the "Deepwater Pathfinder", which reported sustained winds of 56 knots with gusts to 71 knots and 20 ft waves at 1743 UTC 27 September.

 Hurricane Isidore Becomes First Major Hurricane of 2002 Season
Isidore, which was at 100 mph when it bared down on Cuba, grew to 115 mph as it entered the Southern Gulf, and turned toward the west.
Models were beginning to show a track that would have Isidore knocking at the door of the Gulf Coast by the middle of next week, and some indicated that it would be a very powerful hurricane with winds of 130 to 150 miles per hour.
What had happened to cause the weakening of Isidore was the fact that while it was over land in the Yucatan, the core of the storm's thunderstorms around the center of circulation had collapsed.

Isidore was later downgraded to a Tropical Storm before gathering strength again.

 Hurricane Isidore
This created a certain amount of confusion because there was a Hurricane Isidore which occurred from September 24th to October 1st, 1996.
Moreover, despite the massive flooding caused by Isidore in 2002, it was reclassified as a tropical storm when it failed to maintain hurricane strength winds.
A tropical storm is classified as a hurricane if its maximum sustained winds exceed 33 meters per second, but only if it occurs in the North Atlantic Ocean, in the North Pacific Ocean east of the dateline, or in the South Pacific Ocean east of 160°E longtitude.

The Atlantic Hurricane season runs from June 1 through November 30; however, tropical storms may form at almost any time of the year.
Expect the possibility of tropical storms and category 1 hurricanes developing in the northwestern Caribbean and the waters around Cuba, the Bahamas, and Florida after the middle of May, as this trend has become well enough established over the last ten years to reduce the significance of June 1.
In the Pacific Ocean West of 180°, hurricanes are referred to as "typhoons"; in the Indian Ocean as "severe tropical cyclones" or "willy-willies".
