Tropical Storm Debby is expected to make landfall this week in the Myrtle Beach area. Meteorologists are saying that the Grand Strand will be getting historic levels of rain, which could lead to flooding.
Horry County has the potential for extreme flooding, according to forecasts from earlier this week. Officials are warning people against driving in flooded areas and not bypassing barricades on the road, as it can be deadly.
The storm warning has extended to include not just coastal cities, but also coastal Pender, New Hanover and Brunswick counties; central Horry County; inland Georgetown County and Williamsburg County, according to National Weather Service’s Meteorologist-in-Charge for the Wilmington, North Carolina, station, Steven Pfaff.
