Tropical Storm Debby drenching Florida coast – John Zarrella on how the state is preparing for a prolonged storm

(CNN) – Tropical Storm Debby threatened to spawn more tornadoes Monday as the stationary storm pummeled the Gulf Coast with fierce winds and heavy rain.

The storm has already killed at least one person after apparent tornadoes struck central Florida, officials said.

And with Debby coming to a standstill in the northern Gulf of Mexico, states surrounding the sprawling storm could endure high winds and intense rainfall for days.

As of Monday morning, Debby was centered about 90 miles south-southwest of Apalachicola in the Florida Panhandle, the National Hurricane Center said.

CNN's John Zarrella looks at the potential damage Debby could cause to the Florida coast on "Early Start" this morning.
