Tropical Storm Debby Makes Landfall in Florida Near Steinhatchee
“Debby is expected to weaken to a tropical depression tonight,” the NHC said in its 48-hour outlook.
A tropical storm warning is in effect for the Florida Gulf coast from Steinhatchee to Englewood, the center said.
The storm idled about a quarter of U.S. offshore oil and natural gas production in the Gulf of Mexico, based on figures issued by U.S. offshore regulators. About 6 percent of U.S. gas production and just over 20 percent of U.S. oil production come from the Gulf of Mexico.
