The remnants of Debby continue to produce heavy rain across the northeast Friday afternoon.
After the fourth named storm of the 2024 Atlantic Hurricane Season, Debby, made landfall for the first time near Steinhatchee, Florida, on Sunday, the system then went on to make a second landfall near Bulls Bay, South Carolina, on Thursday.
The system has since dumped widespread, heavy rain across portions of the East Coast this week, leading to multiple flooding issues and high water rescues.

Multiple tornadoes were also reported as Debby’s rainbands came onshore:
