Tropical Storm Debby has drenched the U.S state of Florida bringing flooding to parts and leading the Governor to declare a statewide emergency. The knot of low pressure has lingered over the Gulf of Mexico since Sunday evening bringing a constant barrage of wind and rain. State officials say at least 35,000 homes and businesses have had power knocked out by the extreme weather. One woman died on Sunday after the storm whipped up tornadoes. Crews in Alabama are meanwhile continuing their search for a South Carolina man missing off the coast.
Residents in low-lying neighbourhoods near the Florida coast have been advised to leave their homes, while the bridge to St George Island, a popular vacation spot, has been closed off.
Florida Governor Rick Scott declared a statewide emergency yesterday.
