Tropical Storm Debby, now downgraded to a tropical depression, has left a trail of destruction across the U.S. Southeast, claiming at least seven lives this week. But the storm isn’t done yet—meteorologists warn it’s now spiraling northward toward Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, and New York, threatening flash floods and tornadoes in already drenched areas.
Imagine your weekend plans being canceled by Mother Nature’s latest plot twist. That’s the reality for millions in Debby’s path as forecasters predict more chaos. The storm, which started as a tempestuous TikTok trend (i.e., sudden and viral), could turn highways into rivers and backyards into lakes.
Authorities are urging residents to stay alert and avoid flooded roads. “This isn’t just rain—it’s a reminder of climate’s unpredictable drama,” one expert said. With climate change cranking up the intensity of weather events, Debby’s story feels like a Netflix thriller we didn’t sign up for.
