Tropical Storm Debby has made its presence known in some of America's most historic Southern cities, causing record-setting rain and flash flooding. The storm, which has claimed at least five lives, is expected to bring up to 30 inches of rain in some areas, according to the National Hurricane Center.

Debby made landfall as a Category 1 hurricane in Florida before weakening to a tropical storm. It is currently moving slowly across eastern Georgia, the coastal plain of South Carolina, and southeast North Carolina, with catastrophic flooding anticipated through Wednesday.
