Northern Florida, Southern Georgia, South Carolina into portions of Southeast North Carolina are about to see the heaviest rainfall in many years and quite possible historic rainfall amounts from Hurricane Debby. The hurricane strengthened overnight and is making landfall today along the coast of the Florida Big Bend area near Cedar Key.
