Georgetown County officials are breathing a sigh of relief today as the remnants of Tropical Storm Debby move north out of the area. The forecast continued to improve for Georgetown throughout the day Wednesday with rainfall estimates dropping dramatically.
Debby made landfall at Bulls Bay at around 2 a.m. Speed has increased today, moving it out of our area faster. The center of the storm is currently located near Florence, moving north.
Georgetown County residents should expect to see increased wind speeds and gusts throughout the day, but the flooding threat has diminished. Emergency Management officials will continue to closely monitor river levels, but based on current levels and forecasts, no major issues are anticipated. There have been no reports of residential damages at this time. If residents have damages they would like to report, a self-report form will be added to the Tropical Storm Debby page on the county website, gtcounty.org/debby.
