The top U.S. weather story in the past week has been the impact of Tropical Storm Debby. Debby made landfall as a Category 1 hurricane in Florida’s Big Bend region and then stalled over the Southeast, causing severe flooding in Georgia and the Carolinas. Debby brought record-breaking rainfall, with some areas receiving over 20 inches of rain. This led to widespread flash flooding, road washouts, power outages, and damage to homes in low-lying areas. The storm also brought storm surge and high winds, exacerbating the flooding and damage. Debby’s slow movement and heavy rainfall over several days resulted in a major flooding event across the Southeast U.S.
