Convection really blowing up on north and NW side over land. Much of that as it moves inland and totals will come up fast.

3.6" from Debby so far, may end up tacking on because I had to drive through an impressive rainstorm for the last bit of my drive home.

And I really didn't think I'd be tacking on much.

This is consistent with what model consensus has been showing.

Down in Richmond Hill (a distant suburb 15 miles SW of Savannah), a friend of mine said she had the heaviest rain of the entire storm with that orange band that came across just in the last hour! But she apparently didn’t get nearly as much rain as I did earlier in the storm.

Feels like it is taking forever to move on shore.

It is moving about at the slow speed that has been forecasted.

When is it going to start picking up speed ?

Near landfall.

The Wind field must be the smallest on record. It has yet to get above 15 to 20 mph here in Mount Pleasant today.

Actually I think the winds are just displaced a good ways from the center (100+ miles)
Earlier the 50kt winds were 100+ miles ESE of the center

You see they added us to an inland TS warning for gusts to 50 tonight........I ain't buying it. Rain has been really piling up last 2 hours
