Tropical Storm Debby caused widespread destruction in North and South Carolina on Thursday, spawning multiple tornadoes that resulted in significant damage, including one fatality in Lucama, North Carolina. Witness Genesis Cooper described the terrifying moment as a tornado destroyed his home in just 15 seconds, while nearby Springfield Middle School suffered severe structural damage. As the storm progressed, it caused extensive flooding, prompting road closures and evacuations in affected areas, particularly in Duplin County. Despite the destruction, officials reported that no injuries occurred from a dam failure that led to the evacuation of nearby homes. The National Hurricane Center indicated that Debby made landfall in Florida as a Category 1 hurricane before weakening, yet heavy rainfall continues to pose risks in the region. As of now, the forecast predicts more rain, with North Carolina expecting up to 10 additional inches in some areas.
