The death toll from Tropical Storm Debby increased to four by Monday afternoon. In one case, a 13-year-old boy was crushed after a tree fell onto a mobile home in Levy County. The three other deaths were the result of vehicle crashes during inclement weather, authorities said.Debby made landfall as a Category 1 hurricane just after 7 a.m. near the northern Florida community of Steinhatchee.
Cut-and-toss efforts to clear roadways will begin as soon as the storm passes.“I want to thank everybody who's been involved in the preparation efforts. We've got a lot of work ahead of us,” DeSantis said. There's going to be a lot of water that’s going to be dumped throughout the state and we're going to see effects of that, not just today, but in the ensuing days.
