Tropical Strom Debby has already brought damage to Florida since its landfall Monday as a Category 1 hurricane, with forecasters warning that the storm has the potential to bring historical and catastrophic damage to Southeastern states as it continues on its path.
Heavy rainfall is expected through southeast Georgia and eastern South Carolina through Friday, according to the National Hurricane Center. Forecasters are also warning that the center of Debby's storm is expected to move offshore from the Georgia coast later Tuesday, bringing a significant risk of flash flooding to portions of Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina.
Tropical Storm Debby made landfall along coastal Florida as a Category 1 hurricane, although the storm has since weakened to a tropical storm rating.
Images around Florida show flooding and damage from the high winds and heavy rains, including flooded streets, cars underwater and boats washed ashore. Residents in other Southern states are bracing for Debby, including adding sandbags to minimize flooding damage.
