Not sure how many people have been watching the fairly rough rain event in Atlanta, but we've had a stalled system dragging moisture up from the gulf for the last several days and it culminated last night into a vicious set of storms in various parts of the metro area. I believe we've had rain totals breaking 12 inches in the last 12 hours in some areas.
Where I live isn't the worst hit and we're dealing with some fairly serious flooding in the basement and the rain isn't slowing down. If anything, I think the flooding is going to get quite a bit worse over the next couple of days.
Keep an eye out and if people have any reports, I'd love to hear them.

I would assume that the drought is over. These extremes are unfortunate.

Sorry to hear about all the flooding. I have a friend in Young Harris, in Northern Georgia, near the Brasstown Creek. He lives on a hill but a few of his neighbors have had the road washed out last night & couldn't get home, so they all spent the night over at his place. Made huge pizzas for everybody & they all watched Monday night football with the rain pouring down outside. What'a Guy! Sure better than a shelter!

"NOAA: Second Warmest July and Warmest Year-to-Date Global Temperature on Record
August 13, 2010
The combined global land and ocean surface temperature made this July the second warmest on record, behind 1998, and the warmest averaged January-July on record. The global average land surface temperature for July and January–July was warmest on record. The global ocean surface temperature for July was the fifth warmest, and for January–July 2010 was the second warmest on record, behind 1998.
