Catastrophic hurricane strike
On Monday, Debby hit the coasts of Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina, causing the deaths of five people. Since then, the hurricane has weakened and become a tropical storm.
The accompanying rainfall is causing floods and inundations. Rescue operations are ongoing, involving hundreds of people whose homes have been submerged.
