HUGER, S.C. - Tropical Storm Debby has made a second landfall in South Carolina on its way up the East Coast, where residents as far north as Vermont could get several inches of rain this weekend. 

The National Hurricane Center says Debby came ashore early Thursday near Bulls Bay, South Carolina. 

The storm is expected to keep moving inland, spreading heavy rain and possible flooding all the way up through the mid-Atlantic and the Northeast by the weekend. 

Debby first made landfall as a Category 1 hurricane early Monday on the Gulf Coast of Florida.
