Recent observations from the National Weather Service reveal that rainfall totals from Tropical Storm Debby have surpassed a foot in three states - Florida, South Carolina, and Georgia. The period from 8 am Saturday, August 3 through 10 am Wednesday, August 7 saw some of the highest rainfall totals recorded.
As Debby slowly progresses north in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Charleston, heavy rain continues to impact the Southeast coast. This persistent rainfall has led to flood warnings being issued for portions of eastern Georgia, eastern South Carolina, and eastern North Carolina. Additionally, a flood watch remains in effect for areas of Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, and Virginia.
The National Weather Service advises residents in these regions to stay informed about the changing weather conditions and to take necessary precautions to ensure their safety. It is crucial for individuals in flood-prone areas to be prepared for potential flooding and to follow any evacuation orders issued by local authorities.
Authorities are closely monitoring the situation and providing regular updates to the public. It is essential for residents to heed these warnings and stay vigilant during this period of heightened rainfall and potential flooding.
