Debby drenching Southeast as floodwaters surge inland
Tropical Storm Debby lashed Georgia and South Carolina with torrential rain and rising floodwaters. Savannah and Charleston reported up to a foot of rain in 24 hours, with roads closed and a city curfew in Charleston. Governors declared emergencies as the storm edges north, forecasters warning of up to 15 inches more rain in Carolinas and Virginia. Local residents evacuated by boat while crews delivered supplies and residents faced prolonged deluges and power outages. The center of Debby lingered off Savannah as it edged east-northeast, expected to return onshore near Charleston later in the week.
