The city of Charleston in South Carolina is preparing for unprecedented amounts of rainfall and severe flooding on Monday as Tropical Storm Debby approaches. Mayor William Cogswell has issued a warning to residents to take necessary precautions and stay indoors during the storm.
First responders are on high alert and ready to handle the expected downpour, but Mayor Cogswell emphasized the unpredictability of Mother Nature. He urged residents to gather essential supplies ahead of the storm to ensure their safety.
According to Mayor Cogswell, the upcoming rainfall is expected to be of an unprecedented magnitude, leading to severe flooding in areas that are not typically prone to such conditions. The city is working closely with federal and state partners to coordinate emergency response efforts.
An emergency protocol has been enacted by Mayor Cogswell, which grants him the authority to close down parts of the city if necessary to ensure public safety. Residents are advised to stay informed about the storm's progress and follow official guidance to minimize risks.
