Large swathes of neighborhoods, roads, and key infrastructure are currently submerged or damaged by floodwaters.

Potential Tornadoes Spun Up by Debby

In South Carolina, apart from the flooding, reports suggest that Debby has been spinning up tornadoes.

Residents are urged to stay safe, follow local guidance, and keep abreast of the latest weather updates.
