Tropical Storm Debby swirled over the Carolinas and coastal Georgia, dumping heavy rain on the southeastern part of the U.S., before it finally headed north.

According to the Associated Press, weather officials noted that Debby would strengthen a little before turning toward South Carolina's coastline, where the center of the storm will make a second landfall. Georgia and South Carolina received more than 30 centimeters of rain, causing streets to be submerged in waist-high floodwaters.
