Charleston, South Carolina is currently experiencing flooding as a result of heavy rainfall ahead of Debby's anticipated deluge. The city's police department has reported that some roads are already underwater due to the soaking rain.

With over 2.5 inches of rain already fallen, Charleston has broken its rainfall record for this date. While today's rainfall may not be the most extreme the city has faced, the ongoing flooding poses a significant risk for the days to come.
