Tropical Storm Debby

Hurricane Debby has weakened to a tropical storm after making landfall in Florida's Big Bend, causing significant rainfall across the Southeast. Florida's Lake City recorded nearly 20 inches of rain, while parts of South Carolina are expected to see totals exceeding 20 inches, with some communities already reporting 16 to 18 inches. The National Weather Service has indicated that many rivers and streams are rising to flood stage, affecting 45 gauges in minor flood stage and nearly 40 in moderate or major flood stages. North Carolina has seen lower rainfall totals of 5 to 9 inches, but rain is still expected in the coming days. As Debby moves out, communities are bracing for its remnants, which may bring additional rain this weekend. Local news stations are providing continuous coverage and monitoring the storm's path and impacts.
