The storm Debby has now left the USA and blown into Canada. During the past week, the storm has hit hard against various parts of the USA.

The states of Pennsylvania and New York were reached by the storm on Saturday. Several people were then rescued by helicopter after getting stuck in their cars or houses when large areas were flooded.

In Steuben county in New York, an evacuation order was issued for several smaller towns. A large number of residential houses, businesses, roads, and bridges were also damaged in connection with the water masses.

The storm swept over the American mainland already on Monday and has caused major flooding also in, among others, Florida, North and South Carolina, as well as Vermont.

At least nine people have died in connection with the storm, most of them in traffic accidents or in connection with fallen trees.
