Slow-moving Tropical Storm Debby brings torrential rains and flooding to Southeast

LA Times  

A tow line is attached to a stranded vehicle on a flooded street in Savannah, Ga., on Monday after heavy rain from Tropical Storm Debby. The storm’s center was 15 miles south of Savannah, the hurricane center said in its11 a.m. advisory Tuesday. “Tropical cyclones always produce heavy rain, but normally as they’re moving, you know, it doesn’t accumulate that much in one place,” Richard Pasch of the hurricane center said. Charleston police barricaded all eight roads leading into the city Monday night after urging nonresidents to leave, and said the curfew would remain through Tuesday, letting only essential workers and emergency personnel pass through. Water started spilling over the top of a small dam near Walterboro, S.C., but it didn’t crumble, Colleton County Fire-Rescue Assistant Chief David Greene said in a video briefing.
