Tropical Depression Mindy moved off the coast of Georgia after lashing Georgia and South Carolina with heavy rainfall Thursday morning, the National Hurricane Center said. The storm is expected to bring several inches of rainfall to South Carolina this afternoon that could produce "scattered flash, urban, and small stream flooding."
Mindy was located about 45 miles south-southeast of Savannah, Georgia, with maximum sustained winds of 35 mph, the hurricane center said. Mindy, the 13th named storm of the season, made landfall on the Florida Panhandle as a powerful tropical storm Wednesday night, drenching the state with six inches of rain. Forecasters expect Mindy to weaken into a remnant by Friday evening as it moves away from the U.S. and further into the Atlantic.Actor Richard Dreyfuss is facing backlash for allegedly sharing remarks that audience members found sexist, homophobic and generally offensive at a Q&A event over the weekend tied to a Massachusetts theater's screening of "Jaws."
