Hurricane Debby left at least six people dead Monday along with widespread flooding in the same parts of Florida and Georgia that were swamped by Hurricane Idalia less than a year ago.
Debby made landfall near Steinhatchee, in the Big Bend area of north Florida, and was moving slowly northeast Tuesday, expected to bring more heavy rain and flooding to parts of coastal Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina, news and weather service reports said.
“Latest forecasts suggest up to 30 inches of rain, particularly in Georgia and South Carolina, which could challenge recent historical precedents in those states,” said a bulletin from Moody’s, an analytics and ratings firm.
