Tropical Storm Debby in Georgia

Tropical Storm Debby, which made landfall in Florida as a Category 1 hurricane, has caused at least five fatalities and widespread power outages across the Southeast. The storm is expected to produce catastrophic flooding, with rainfall estimates ranging from 10 to 30 inches in parts of Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina through Friday. Residents in these areas are preparing for significant flooding, with curfews imposed and emergency crews on standby for high-water rescues. Debby's slow movement is exacerbating the flooding threat, as storm surge and tropical conditions are expected to affect the region for several days. Over 116,000 Floridians lost power, while delays and cancellations impacted thousands of flights due to the storm. The National Weather Service warns of flash flooding and advises residents to prepare for prolonged heavy rainfall as Debby continues its path northward.
