Cindy damage update in Atlanta

Hey everyone, made it through the night with about 3 hours sleep here in Atlanta and the damage around here is pretty extensive. The hardest hit area is Henry Co. and the Peachtree City-Hampton area. The most damaged area is Atlanta Motor Speedway where the condo/office tower was severely damaged and as Ed Clark GM of AMS was talking about on TV earlier, damage estimates could reach $25-40 million dollars just at AMS alone. Once the sun rises they will be able to assess the damage to the condos as well as the track as well.

Rainfall totals are pretty much along the lines of 3-6 inches with Hartsfield-Jackson International recieving 5.14" in the space of about 3 hours.

Unfortunately there have been two more deaths that will be attributed to Cindy, a teenager who was wakeboarding in the flood waters in Peachtree City was swept into a culvert and is missing and presumed dead as well as a fireman in an Atlanta suburb was killed while responding to a call.
