The St. Louis region could face area-wide threats from severe storms Thursday, including winds of up to 70 mph, large hail, and “a tornado or two.”
First responders launched high-water and helicopter rescues of people trapped in cars and homes in rural New York and Pennsylvania.
Tornadoes spawned by Tropical Storm Debby leveled homes, damaged a school and killed one person early Thursday, as the system dropped heavy rain and flooded communities across North and South Carolina.
A spot near Lake City in Florida led the nation in total rainfall from Debby at 19.67 inches, according to the Weather Prediction Center.
Tropical Storm Debby drenched cities in Georgia and South Carolina Tuesday in what is just the beginning of a prolonged storm that could dump up to 25 inches of rain.
Tropical Storm Debby strengthened rapidly Sunday and was expected to become a hurricane as it moved through the Gulf of Mexico toward Florida.
