At least five dead after Hurricane Debby moves through Florida, Georgia

Officials in Florida say at least four people, including two children, died this week as a result of the hurricane, and a fifth person died in southern Georgia. Authorities in Levy County, Fla., said a 13-year-old boy died Monday when a tree fell on his mobile home, and a 38-year-old woman and 12-year-old boy died Sunday in a car crash on U.S. Highway 19 in Florida, according to local media reports. A tractor-trailer driver died Monday after he lost control of his vehicle on the wet road on the Tampa Bypass and flipped over a concrete barrier. Authorities in Colquitt County, Ga., said a 19-year-old man died Monday when a tree fell on his home, according to local media reports.

What is the storm’s path? Debby is forecast to continue moving north along the East Coast through the rest of the week. Torrential rain and floods are still expected throughout the southeast and the storm stalls off the coast of South Carolina Tuesday and Wednesday. Northeastern states could receive rain from the storm late this week and over the weekend.
