Hurricane Debby is now a tropical storm as it continues to pound the East Coast.

Record-setting rain from the storm has claimed the lives of at least five people, including two minors. A 13-year-old boy died after a tree fell on a mobile home in florida. A 12-year-old boy died in a car crash on flooded roads. A 19-year-old man, 38-year-old woman, and 64-year-old man have also died as a result of the storm.

Catastrophic flooding is expected to continue as Debby makes its way into South Carolina.
