As Tropical Storm Debby continues to wreak havoc in the southeastern United States, more than 174,000 homes and businesses are currently without power in Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina. The impact of the storm has been particularly severe in the Big Bend region of Florida, where Debby made landfall as a Category 1 hurricane on Monday.
According to PowerOutage.us, approximately 134,000 energy customers in Florida are facing power outages, with the majority of them concentrated in the Big Bend area. The situation is expected to worsen as the storm progresses through the region.
While Georgia and South Carolina have not yet experienced as many power outages as Florida, the number of outages in these states is likely to rise as Tropical Storm Debby moves across the states in the coming days. Residents in these areas are advised to stay informed about the storm's progress and take necessary precautions to ensure their safety.
Authorities are working diligently to restore power to affected areas, but the challenging weather conditions may slow down the restoration efforts. It is crucial for residents to be patient and prepared for potential prolonged outages as the storm continues to impact the region.
As Tropical Storm Debby continues to bring heavy rain, strong winds, and the risk of flooding to the southeastern states, residents are urged to stay indoors, avoid unnecessary travel, and follow guidance from local authorities. Stay tuned to weather updates and emergency alerts to stay informed about the evolving situation.
