The mayor of coastal Savannah, Georgia, has expressed deep concern as the city prepares for the impending impact of Tropical Storm Debby. Mayor Van Johnson described the situation as potentially catastrophic, with the storm expected to bring extensive rainfall and flooding to the area.
Mayor Johnson emphasized the unprecedented nature of the storm, stating that the city typically plans for once-in-a-century events, not once-in-a-millennium occurrences like the one they are facing now. He warned that severe flooding is the primary concern, with certain parts of the city likely to be submerged in the coming days.
