LAKEWOOD RANCH --FEMA is opening a disaster recovery center in Manatee County to help survivors of flooding from Hurricane Debby.

The center is open Saturday afternoon from 1-7 pm and daily from 9 am to 7 pm starting Sunday. It's at the Lakewood Ranch Library, where FEMA specialists will offer support with filling out applications and updating status, while volunteers will offer other recovery services.

Debby made landfall in North Florida but it brought record amounts of rainfall to Manatee and Sarasota counties, with damage estimated at around $100 million.
