Here we (could) go again.. After making a second landfall in South Carolina, Debby weakened to a tropical storm and now located close to Charlotte, North Carolina. Despite the downgrade, the storm remains a threat, bringing heavy rainfall and tornado watches across North Carolina. Tragically, Debby has claimed six lives, including two in Georgia. Although Debby will soon lose its tropical characteristics, the risk of flooding and tornadoes persists as it moves into other states.

At least six people have died in Florida and Georgia after the storm hit southeastern US. Governors in Florida, Georgia and North and South Carolina have declared a state of emergency after Storm Debby, which made landfall as a hurricane earlier this week, dumped 8 to 16 inches (20 to 41 cm) of rain in Florida on Monday.

Hollywood child stardom has taken its toll on many actors through the decades. Lani O'Grady, for one, found fame in the 1970s on the TV family series, Eight is Enough. O'Grady followed in the footsteps of her brother, actor Don Grady, an original Mouseketeer and member of another popular TV family show: My Three Sons. Their mother, Mary B. Grady, was a talent agent who represented several child actors. But Lani, who would also eventually become an agent, died in 2001 just one week before what would have been her 47th birthday.

Roll clouds are a type of arcus clouds, spectacular low-level long and thin clouds that are associated with intense thunderstorms. They are often seen beneath cumulonimbus clouds. Roll clouds differ from the popular “shelf” clouds (which are also a type of arcus cloud) in that shelf clouds are attached to the storm cloud, whereas roll clouds are separated from it. Here’s a great example of how roll clouds can make an otherworldly sight.
