Tropical Storm Debby is expected to bring heavy rainfall and life-threatening flooding across the Grand Strand this week.
Debby moved across northern Florida Monday and into the Georgia/South Carolina and North Carolina coasts Tuesday, bringing with it rain, wind gusts and possible storm surge, according to the National Weather Service in Wilmington, North Carolina.
The Myrtle Beach area is under a tornado watch until 5 p.m. Tuesday, according to the NWS.
The storm is expected to move slowly, resulting in “catastrophic” amounts of rainfall. The Grand Strand area could see between 10 to 20 inches of rain, according to the South Carolina Emergency Management Division.
