Tropical storm Debby causes large swells along the Florida coast.

The proximity of tropical storm Debby to the coasts of Florida is causing swells that are flooding the low-lying areas of several cities.

The meteorologist Matt Devitt shared images on social media showing how the tropical storm is causing wave heights of between two and four feet (approximately between half a meter and 1.2 meters) in the city of Fort Myers.

"These are photographs of the flooded beach in Fort Myers at this moment," pointed out the specialist.

The images shared by Devitt show several cars traveling through flooded streets, as well as the sea encroachments caused by the proximity of the storm.

Beach Talk Radio, on Facebook, also shared some videos that show the consequences of Debby's proximity.

The National Hurricane Center (NHC) issued notice number nine this Sunday, warning that tropical storm Debby will rapidly intensify before making landfall.

"It is likely that Debby will strengthen quickly before making landfall in the Big Bend region of Florida," the monitoring center warned on the social network X.

Subsequently, the monitoring center also warned that tropical storm Debby will become a hurricane before making landfall.

Florida is on alert for the imminent arrival of Tropical Storm Debby, which could become a hurricane.
