Well sports fans...... Georgia Power reports 300,000 out of power, 230,000 in metro Atlanta... MAJOR flooding is occuring in Alpharetta and North Atlanta along the banks of the Peachtree Creek. Record flooding is occuring with the creek at 21.4 feet with the previous record being 21.06 feet being in March of 1990... Pretty much every county in North and Central Georgia is under a Flood or Flash flood warning... Road flooding is very prevalant around the airport as well as in other areas around the city..... Tress have fallen throughout the area, just a few blocks from my house in Midtown, 3 trees fell and hit three cars on Piedmont Ave, entrapping one person.... Reports of tornadoes in Northeast Georgia along I-85, with the tornado taking out a GDOT Welcome Center/Rest area Pretty much every school system is out tomorrow in Metro Atlanta.... Whew...anyone got a 7&7? yepper, getting to see how good a job the civil engineers who designed all that urban sprawl around atlanta did in planning for events such as this. take it to the next step.. consider the hill country where orographic forcing is cranking the rain totals up even higher. asheville, knoxville.. it only gets better! ground control to major tom.. something has gone wrong. -HF |
