For all the talk about targeted misinformation, the fact is the US public overall grossly uninformed. Weather coverage is a microcosm of this information sewer. Our society can't function with this level of rhetoric designed to engage and enrage ...

TLDR: #Debby is just southwest of #SavannahGA , expected to drift slowly offshore during the day. Lots of rain, flooding in places, below forecast in #GA , as it seems the greatest risk is in #SC as the storm lingers, then moves north. Details on blog.

Key point for #Georgia and #SouthCarolina folks waiting for the rain from #Debby : This is NOT a storm surge event, other than some shallow flooding for areas that flood around high tide, when the tides are 2 feet or so above normal. This is rising water from heavy rain event, so

Good news for those in Coastal Georgia: the winds have reversed and are blowing offshore, the high tide around noon should only be about 8.8 feet (instead of 11)! So unless a wind gust knocks out power or a limb breaks and damages something in the next couple hours that's it.

In the SE US, the nasty and if not careful dangerous combo of heat and humidity continues because, well, it's mid August. The heat index is "only" 95F here in midtown Savannah (GA) at the moment (8am ET), it's *already* over 100 in some places, headed towards 120F in spots!

@SarcasmStardust I think "delusion" is a better word than "hypocrisy." Evangelicals/Mormons believe restoring Israel will trigger the 2nd coming of Christ: who will smite the Jews. Jews encourage it because they believe restoration will trigger the 1st coming: who will smite the Christians.

TLDR: A system in the #Atlantic may develop next week, don't worry about it until Monday (those in the northern #Caribbean can look Sunday). Water dumped by #Debby inland trying to return to the sea is causing a second wave of flooding.

Don't get excited yet, but signs the right hand side of the storm is struggling, which would be good for coastal GA/SC ... will likely start to draw in moisture from the Atlantic side, but hopefully the wind field will collapse faster than NHC forecast.
