The Latest: Debby's remnants hit New York and Pennsylvania with heavy rain and severe flooding

0
Though no longer a tropical storm, Debby continues lashing the East Coast with heavy rain and flooding as rivers overflow their banks and authorities call on the National Guard to help with high water rescues. The storm has moved north from the Carolinas toward the Northeast, drenching New York and Pennsylvania and causing dangerous flooding. Into the weekend, forecasters say parts of the East Coast can expect heavy downpours, flash flooding and possible tornadoes. Interstate 95 near bigger cities could be affected. Debby originally made landfall as a Category 1 hurricane in Florida early Monday, but made landfall a second time in South Carolina as a tropical storm early Thursday. At least nine people have died.
