ATLANTA — Gov. Brian Kemp has activated up to 2,000 Georgia National Guard troops to aid the response to Hurricane Debby, which made landfall Monday morning in the Big Bend region of Florida as a Category 1 storm.
With sustained winds of 80 miles per hour, the hurricane is expected to bring heavy rains and flooding as it sweeps across South Georgia.
