The remnants of Tropical Depression Debby are expected to bring heavy rain and severe weather to the Mid-Atlantic and northeastern states, causing dangerous flash flooding and the possibility of tornadoes. Flood warnings and watches have been issued from the Carolinas up to New England, with rainfall could reach up to 15 to 25 inches in some areas. Although Debby has weakened and was downgraded to a tropical depression, it can still produce significant amounts of rain. Several deaths have been reported as a result of the storm, with areas like Berkeley County, South Carolina experiencing significant flooding. Tornadoes are also a concern, with reports of a tornado touching down in North Carolina. Vermont, which has already been hit by flooding this year, is preparing for another extreme weather event. Hersheypark in Pennsylvania has announced it will close due to the weather. A cold front pushing Debby northeast is also bringing record low temperatures in areas like the Central Plains and northern Minnesota, with some areas experiencing temperatures 20-25 degrees below average. Overall, residents are being urged to stay safe and take precautionary measures to protect themselves from the severe weather.
