Horrifying pictures have revealed the devastating impact of Hurricane Debby after the storm made landfall in the Big Bend of Florida.

Huge torrents of rain have caused significant damage and killed at least five people so far, two of whom were children.

The center of Debby is about 60 miles north-northwest of Jacksonville, Florida, and experts expect the tropical storm to dump historic amounts of rain and bring catastrophic flooding from northern Florida to southeastern North Carolina through Friday night.

Even though maximum sustained winds have slowed to about 45 miles per hour, the storm has laid waste to much of the Gulf Coast of Florida, leaving downed power lines, flooded streets and fallen trees.

Charleston could be hit with over two feet of rain over the next five days, while Savannah may receive the typical rainfall over an entire summer over that same time period. As such, both cities have been placed under a mandatory curfew.
