Ammon News - At least five people have been killed after Hurricane Debby slammed into Florida before weakening to a tropical storm.

Debby is expected to bring heavy flooding to parts of Georgia and the Carolinas in the coming days.

The National Hurricane Center warned of a "life-threatening" flood threat as the "slow-moving storm" drops "torrential rains".

Debby made landfall on Monday morning as a category one hurricane in the Big Bend region of Florida's Gulf Coast.

The storm is forecast to skim the coast, drenching south-east Georgia and the Carolinas on Tuesday and Wednesday, before moving inland near the South Carolina coast on Thursday.
