As the storm creeps closer to the land, the people of Florida can feel its impact and prepare to protect themselves from the developing Hurricane. The floods were experienced on Sunday at Fort Byers Beach with what started as sheets of rain and strong winds. The images coming from the region displayed roads in front of apartments disappearing under flood and stranded vehicles by owners which now require towing facilities in this extreme weather.
What started as a tropical disturbance, soon developed into Storm Debby which will likely hit Florida over the next few days. Floridians will experience more and more impact of Debby with rain, strong winds and floods as the storm moves closer to the land. However, safety protocols have been put in place over the past few days with storm warnings and surge watches.
