Debby is forecasted to hit South Florida sometime late Friday or early
Saturday. Meanwhile officals have moved into Phase 1 of their evacation
plan for the Florida Keys. A state of Emergency has been declared. All
non-residents have been asked to leave the string of islands that for

Stand Up: Since being downgraded to a tropical storm, Debby has
sustained winds of 70MPH. To regain hurricane strength, forecasters say
it will take at least 24 hours...still plenty of time to greet South

Many common drugs from antibiotics to anesthetics have been proven to work well for adults. But they have never been tested for use on children.
Many doctors prescribe them for kids anyway in smaller doses. But a child is not just a miniature adult and there are concerns that some drugs may affect children differently.
