A man was killed in Lucama, North Carolina, after a tornado from Tropical Storm Debby hit his house, officials said Thursday.
Debby made landfall for a second time overnight near Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, with wind speeds topping out at 50 mph.
The storm had previously made landfall on Monday when it hit Florida’s Gulf Coast as a Category 1 hurricane.
The storm continues to threaten millions of Americans with heavy rains and flash flooding.
Debby is moving up the East Coast and is expected to reach the New England area over the weekend.
President Joe Biden previously approved emergency declarations for Florida, Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina.

At least seven people have died this week as a result of the storm.
On Monday, over 300,000 people had been without power in Florida when the storm slammed into the state, but crews have worked to restore power to most households.
Now, North Carolina is facing outages, with nearly 100,000 without power, according to PowerOutage.us.
Debby also upended travel this week.
On Thursday, there were already over 700 flight delays and more than 60 cancellations within, into, or out of the U.S. as of 7 a.m., according to FlightAware.
