Flash Flood Warning in Effect for Horry and Georgetown counties amidst Tropical Storm Debby

Flash Flood Warning in Effect for Horry and Georgetown counties amidst Tropical Storm Debby

Flood Warning

This morning, an urgent Flash Flood Warning was issued for parts of Horry and Columbus counties, including Brunswick county. The warning was observed for life-threatening flash flooding, indicating that flash flooding has already been visually observed in the affected areas. The warning is to remain in effect until 7:45 a.m. local time.

Danger and Precautions

Local residents should take the flash flood warning extremely seriously, and remain vigilant. Flash flooding can cause dangerous conditions, leading to overflowing ditches and retention ponds, washed-out roads, and the risk of water entering homes or other structures. Continued rainfall over the next week means that flash flooding may remain possible throughout the area until the storm passes.

Residents are advised to stay updated with the latest information about potential flash flooding and rain forecasts, and ensure they have a reliable way to receive these urgent warnings. Those living in the affected areas are strongly urged to take all necessary precautions to protect their personal safety and property.

Impact of Tropical Storm Debby

Tropical Storm Debby’s influence has been felt strongly over the region in recent days. Having made landfall near Bulls Bay as a tropical storm, the system is producing conditions that are providing the impetus for this expected flash flooding. The persistent rainfall, wind, and risk of tornados persist well beyond Debby’s landfall, contributing to this heightened risk of flooding.

Road Closures and Power Outages

The local government is working tirelessly to mitigate the impact of inflicting sudden flood conditions and is likely to announce road closures and other emergency measures. Residents are urged to expect power outages due to the severity of the storm and the potential for damage to the electricity infrastructure.

Help in a Time of Crisis

In such a time of crisis, it is essential to look out for one another. Be responsible and ensure the safety of your family and loved ones; taking necessary precautions and following advice from the relevant authorities. If you see someone in trouble, don’t hesitate to help. Remember, every small action can have a significant impact during such a crisis.

Stay safe, stay vigilant, and most importantly, stay informed. Tropical Storm Debby isn’t over yet.
