Tropical Storm Debby Brings Deluge and Flooding Threat to Southeastern United States

 

Tropical Storm Debby, which made landfall in Florida as a Category 1 hurricane, is now moving northeast over Georgia, posing a major threat of flooding and storm surges for the southeastern United States. As of now, at least five deaths have been confirmed, including a 13-year-old boy from Gainesville, Florida, a 19-year-old man from southern Georgia, and a 64-year-old truck driver from Mississippi.

The storm is expected to produce potentially historic rainfall totals of 10 to 20 inches, with maximum amounts of up to 30 inches in some areas. The National Hurricane Center has issued warnings of “catastrophic flooding” across eastern Georgia, the coastal plain of South Carolina, and southeast North Carolina.

More than 150,000 customers in Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina are currently without power due to Debby’s impact. Additionally, authorities in Georgia’s Chatham County are closely monitoring low-lying areas likely to flood.
