Tropical Storm Debby Makes Second Landfall in South Carolina
News summary

Tropical Storm Debby made its second landfall near Bulls Bay, South Carolina, early Thursday, bringing sustained winds of 50 mph and significant rainfall across the Carolinas. Flash flood warnings are in effect, with expected rainfall of 4 to 7 inches in some regions, raising concerns about flooding in low-lying areas and along rivers. The storm is moving slowly northwest, which prolongs the rain and flooding threat, particularly in the Midlands of South Carolina and eastern North Carolina, where Governor Cooper has declared a state of emergency. There is also a risk of tornadoes, with one reported causing extensive damage in Wilson County, NC. The National Hurricane Center indicates that Debby is likely to weaken into a tropical depression as it moves northward, with additional rainfall totals possibly reaching up to 15 inches in some areas. Meanwhile, forecasters are monitoring a new system in the Atlantic that may develop into another tropical storm next week.
