Tropical Storm Debby spawned deadly tornadoes in North Carolina. In New York, drones with loudspeakers warned people in basement apartments to be ready to flee.
Tropical Storm Debby spawned damaging tornadoes that killed one person, flooded a town and temporarily shut down part of Interstate 95 early Thursday as it blew into North Carolina after making a second landfall overnight. The storm was expected to churn up the East Coast, where residents as far north as Vermont could get several inches of flooding rain this weekend. The National Hurricane Center says Debby came ashore early Thursday near Bulls Bay, S.C.
We waited, didn’t think the water was going to come up as quick,” Taylor said. 'But it did, and it caught us. We couldn’t even get the vehicles out.” At least four dams were breached northwest of Savannah in Georgia’s Bulloch County, but no deaths had been reported, authorities said. More than 75 people were rescued from floodwaters in the county, said Corey Kemp, director of emergency management, and about 100 roads were closed.
