Flooding in Bamberg

Tropical storm Debby has caused unprecedented flooding in the Carolinas, particularly in Charleston, where streets have turned into rivers, prompting officials to impose a curfew and close dozens of roads. The storm is expected to re-strengthen as it moves northward, with forecasts predicting an additional five inches of rain through the weekend across several states. In Venezuela, heavy rains have led to flooding in the Capital District and Miranda, with overflowing rivers causing property damage and power outages. Dibrugarh town in India has also experienced severe flooding due to heavy downpours, affecting all 22 wards and resulting in the closure of schools. Local officials are working to address drainage issues that have exacerbated these flooding events, which have become increasingly common. The interconnected nature of these weather events highlights the broader challenges posed by climate change and inadequate infrastructure in managing extreme weather conditions.
