Tropical Storm Debby unleashed a torrential downpour on coastal Georgia and South Carolina this week, triggering urgent warnings of \"catastrophic flooding\" in historic cities like Charleston and Savannah. The National Hurricane Center (NHC) warned that the slow-moving storm could dump up to 20 inches of rain in some areas, with wind gusts reaching 50 mph 🌪️.
\"This is not just another summer storm,\" one meteorologist tweeted. \"Debby’s lingering path is like hitting replay on a disaster movie—except this is real life.\" Emergency teams are scrambling to evacuate low-lying neighborhoods, while social media floods with videos of submerged roads and residents kayaking through downtown streets 🚣.
Local officials urge residents to avoid travel and stock up on essentials. Power outages have already impacted thousands, and the storm’s ripple effects could disrupt supply chains across the Southeast 🚚. Meanwhile, climate scientists highlight how warming oceans are fueling stronger, wetter storms—making events like Debby a worrying preview of future extremes 🌍.
