Say What?

So the tropical storm started to affect us this afternoon. When I looked out the window before leaving work, I thought I would be driving home in near-Hurricane conditions! But it wasn't even really raining (just a heavy mist) and the wind wasn't as bad as it looked. Perhaps it won't hit us as bad as it has other parts of the East coast.

One added difficulty of this storm is how to pronounce its name, which you probably know is "Isaias."

I've googled how to say it. Most sites are giving the pronunciation as ees-ah-EE-ahs (four syllables).

But here is what I came up with as I listened: ee-sah-EE-us.  My way is probably inferior to the above, but it's close.

Rain, rain, go away!
