Hurricane Debby Brings Historic Rainfall And Flooding Threat

As Hurricane Debby slowly moves along the Georgia-Carolina coastline, it poses a significant threat of prolonged heavy rainfall, with potential totals exceeding 2 feet. Forecast models suggest that some areas could experience over 30 inches of rain, depending on the storm's duration, which may extend until at least Thursday.

The National Hurricane Center warns that this excessive rainfall is likely to result in flash floods, urban flooding, and significant river flooding in the affected regions. Cities like Savannah, Georgia, and Charleston, South Carolina, could receive a month's worth of rain in a single day, or even an entire summer's worth throughout the storm's passage.
