We have set up a webpage at gtcounty.org/debby for all storm-related information throughout this event.

Debby has made landfall in Florida. SC will begin to see heavy rainfall associated with Debby today. Debby is expected to move very slowly over SC over the next week, leading to potentially historic heavy rainfall. The current rainfall forecast through the next 7 days includes: Upstate: 2-6 inches Midlands and Pee Dee: 8-15 inches Grand Strand: 10-20 inches Lowcountry: 20-30 inches The areas of SC at greatest risk for flash flooding have expanded, and the Weather Prediction Center has highlighted portions of central and eastern SC as having a high risk (level 4 of 4) of flash flooding today through Wednesday. Heavy rainfall and life-threatening flash flooding is the greatest threat to SC from Hurricane Debby.   In addition to the heavy rainfall and flooding threat, storm surge and strong winds are also possible as Debby approaches SC. With the current forecast track, tropical storm force winds are expected beginning 8am on Tuesday for our southern coast and 8am on Wednesday for our northern coast. There is potential for 2 to 4 feet of storm surge inundation over normally dry tidal/near tidal regions.   Excessive Rainfall Outlook: https://lnkd.in/ee3stQnw Southeast River Forecast Center: https://lnkd.in/eEFQyJVS NWS GSP: https://lnkd.in/eB_XVvwJ NWS ILM: https://lnkd.in/eXSS3bqN NWS CAE: https://lnkd.in/euVqHCu2 NWS CHS: https://lnkd.in/e9CNHdSF   ...EXPECTED TO BRING LIFE-THREATENING STORM SURGE IN PORTIONS OF FLORIDA AND MAJOR FLOODING IN THE SOUTHEASTERN UNITED STATES...
