Hurricane Debby Washes $1M Worth of Cocaine onto Florida Beach

The storm caused significant damage and fatalities, prompting emergency declarations and federal aid in southeastern states.

A Florida Keys beachgoer discovered 25 packages of cocaine worth over $1 million after Hurricane Debby hit the area.
The U.S. Border Patrol seized the 70 pounds of cocaine, which had washed ashore during the storm.
Hurricane Debby, which made landfall as a Category 1 hurricane, caused significant damage and at least five deaths in Florida.
The storm has since been downgraded to a tropical storm but continues to bring heavy rainfall and flooding to the southeastern U.S.
Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina have declared states of emergency, and federal aid has been approved for recovery efforts.
