Tropical Storm Debby continues to wreak havoc on the Southeast coast, dumping more than a foot of rain in some South Carolina locations through Wednesday morning, Aug. 7.
"Heavy rainfall across portions of the Carolinas is expected to persist through Thursday along with areas of considerable flooding," the National Hurricane Center said in an 11 a.m. Aug. 7 statement.

"Debby is expected to produce an additional 3 to 9 inches of rainfall with locally higher amounts, leading to maximum storm total amounts as high as 25 inches in South Carolina and 15 inches in southeast North Carolina, broadening the area of considerable flooding across portions of South Carolina and southeast North Carolina through Friday," the Hurricane Center said.
That's bad news for places like Edisto Beach in South Carolina, which had received nearly 14 inches of rain through Wednesday morning.
