Hurricane Debby didn't just wash up $1 million worth of cocaine into Florida — it's also sending nonnative creatures that move "like an infantry-man scooting under barbed wire," as the state's wildlife commission describes it, right onto residents' doorsteps.
Several videos have come out this week of catfish squirming around on land after inches of Debby's rain flooded roads and driveways. Debby, now a tropical storm, just made a second landfall in South Carolina, where it's expected to bring more flooding across the East Coast.
"Very weird catfish, I guess, on our driveway during a tropical storm," Luis Bardach said in one video taken in Gulfport on Sunday, hours before Debby made landfall as a Category 1 hurricane. "Very much alive."

The federal trial for three former Memphis police officers charged in the death of Tyre Nichols is set to begin jury selection on Monday. The former officers are charged with violating the civil rights of Nichols, a 29-year-old man whose fatal beating was caught on police cameras while also triggering protests and calls for police reform.
