Tornadoes spawned by Tropical Storm Debby leveled homes, damaged a school and killed one person early Thursday, as the system dropped heavy rain and flooded communities across North and South Carolina.
A spot near Lake City in Florida led the nation in total rainfall from Debby at 19.67 inches, according to the Weather Prediction Center.
Tropical Storm Debby drenched cities in Georgia and South Carolina Tuesday in what is just the beginning of a prolonged storm that could dump up to 25 inches of rain.
Tropical Storm Debby strengthened rapidly Sunday and was expected to become a hurricane as it moved through the Gulf of Mexico toward Florida.
Models predict the system could come ashore Sunday and cross over Florida into the Atlantic, where it’ll likely remain a tropical storm threatening Georgia and the Carolinas early next week.
Dollywood patrons fled the park as floodwaters gushed throughout the walkways and spilled into the parking lot where social media images show patrons helping each other wade through knee-deep water.

The Weatherbird has appeared on the Post-Dispatch's front page since Feb. 11, 1901. In earlier appearances, the 'Bird often illustrated the weather, but more recently, he quips on various news topics. The Weatherbird is the oldest continuously running daily cartoon in American journalism.
The Earth recently reached the hottest day ever measured. And in the absence of federal heat rules for workers, some employers are taking it upon themselves to protect employees.
When it comes to extreme weather, people generally look to America's hurricane- or earthquake-prone coasts and say that’s where the danger is. But not always.
Based on MSD data (covering only Missouri), for the area around Benton Park, as well as the area east of Telegraph Road at I-255, Tuesday's rain was a 100-year event.
Heat indexes could reach near 110 on Sunday and Monday, with the possibility of that extreme heat lasting into Tuesday before a mid-week cooldown.
HOUSTON — The return of soaring heat in Houston on Tuesday deepened the misery for millions of people still without power after Hurricane Beryl crashed into Texas and left residents in search of places to cool off and fuel up in one of the nation's largest cities.
Prolonged rain from the remnants of Hurricane Beryl engulfed the St. Louis region Tuesday, expected to bring one to three inches, or more in some places.
