Tropical Storm Debby threatens to bring historic rains over parts of the Southeast.
The National Weather service expects southeast Georgia and eastern South Carolina will receive extreme downpours as the downgraded hurricane (but still potent storm) stalls over these regions.
“Nothing good can come of a slower storm,” National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) scientist James Kossin previously told Mashable.
“Slow-moving Debby is likely to generate catastrophic flooding from northern FL and along the GA/SC coasts,” the agency said on Aug. 5. “Up to 30 inches of rainfall in an already flood-prone region will lead to widespread impacts. Have a plan to get to safety if and when floodwaters rise.”
If you’re interested in following the effects from the tropical storm, several live webcams are shown below. For those in these regions, stay tuned to local officials for guidance and updates.

Climate change is impacting hurricanes. Some of these impacts are clear, particularly more serious rainfall and historic flooding, along with higher storm surges. Other impacts, like how the relentless warming oceans are affecting how strong these storms grow, are an intensive and ongoing area of research.
