Hurricane Debby made landfall on Florida’s Gulf Coast early Monday, knocking power out for hundreds of thousands of people as the US southeast braced for potentially historic levels of rain and major flooding.
“We have seen significant storm surge, we have seen inundation, we have seen and we’ll continue to see flooding in various parts of the state of Florida,” Governor Ron DeSantis told reporters Monday.More than 300,000 customers have lost electricity so far, according to tracker poweroutage.us.The National Hurricane Center warned of life-threatening storm surges along the Gulf coast, with six to 10 feet of inundation above ground level in some areas.
But it said Debby was weakening. The storm’s maximum sustained winds were 80 miles per hour at landfall but dropped to 75 mph shortly after. Authorities have predicted multiple days of heavy rainfall, possibly record-breaking levels, and likely severe flash flooding.
