Eastern US Braces for Tropical Storm Debby Remnants

Communities across the Eastern United States are preparing for the remnants of Tropical Storm Debby, which is expected to bring heavy rainfall, potential flash flooding, and high winds. In New York's Southern Tier, a Flood Watch is in effect, with emergency services deploying swiftwater rescue crews and urging residents to stay informed. Baltimore and Annapolis officials have distributed sandbags and advised residents to secure their properties against expected flooding and wind damage. North Carolina's coast and Raleigh are also bracing for impacts, with residents stocking up on supplies and local authorities clearing drains to reduce flood risks. The St. George Fire Department from Baton Rouge is assisting South Carolina in handling the storm. The Red Cross and other emergency management agencies emphasize the importance of having an evacuation plan and emergency supplies ready.
