Disaster Relief workers in Florida, Georgia and South Carolina are on alert as the remnant of Hurricane Debby sweeps across the southeast.
Damage will be assessed after its passage for a more comprehensive response, Disaster Relief leaders announced today.
Flood watches remain in effect through Tuesday across much of the southeast.
The National Weather Service says “potentially historic rainfall” will follow Debby as the storm moves with “considerable flooding” across areas of east-central Georgia, said the National Weather Service.
Charleston Southern University has moved all classes online until the end of the day Thursday.

Though markets are uneasy, a financial analyst with GuideStone Financial Resources urges calm.
The confluence of high inflation, a weak labor report and the unwinding of a carry trade with roots in Japan has caused financial markets in the United State and around the world to shudder.
Last week’s poor jobs report caused concerns that consumers’ buying power will be limited in the months ahead. That, along with high inflation rates, caused U.S. financial markets to decline 1,000 points last week, and world markets reacted based on elevated concerns that the U.S. could be headed toward a recession.
As the markets adjust during an election year, Josh Chastant told Baptist Press, “I think that everyone can prepare for a little bit more volatility.”
“If you have a plan, stick with the plan and don't get rattled by individual day-to-day kind of price movements in the overall investment markets,” he said.

Read his piece at Baptist Press that will help you grow as a disciple of Jesus.
