Published Aug 5, 2024, 9:00 PM

From the BG Ad Group Studio this is your news minute on the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast presented by Credit Union of Georgia. Today is Monday, August 5th, and I'm Keith Ippolito.

 

Governor Brian Kemp has activated up to 2,000 Georgia National Guard troops in response to Hurricane Debby, which made landfall in Florida's Big Bend region as a Category 1 storm Monday morning. With sustained winds of 80 miles per hour, Debby is expected to bring heavy rains and flooding as it moves across South Georgia.

The National Hurricane Center forecasts six to twelve inches of rain for the Golden Isles along Southeast Georgia's coast, with some areas potentially receiving up to 20 inches. This historic rainfall is likely to result in severe flash and urban flooding throughout Southeast Georgia and South Carolina until Friday morning.

Currently, parts of Coastal Georgia and the Lowcountry of South Carolina are under a tropical storm warning, with Debby anticipated to downgrade to a tropical storm by Monday night.

Locally, expect cooler temps, breezy conditions and a chance of isolated thunderstorms Monday afternoon.
