Hola from Atlanta again.....

Obviously the NWS office is taking this storm VERY, VERY seriously as they have already issued the following special weather statement at 11 am this morning...

EXPECTED RAINFALL AMOUNTS WILL RANGE FROM 5 TO 7 INCHES ...GENERALLY NORTH OF A LINE FROM COLUMBUS TO GRIFFIN TO
ATHENS. HIGHER AMOUNTS ARE POSSIBLE IN THE NORTHEAST GEORGIA
MOUNTAINS. WIDESPREAD FLOODING IS EXPECTED MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY.
EMERGENCY MANAGERS AND PEOPLE LIVING IN FLOOD PRONE
AREAS...ESPECIALLY THOSE LIVING ALONG PEACHTREE CREEK...NANCY
CREEK...PROCTOR CREEK...BIG CREEK...SOPE CREEK...AND SUWANEE
CREEK...SHOULD BEGIN PREPARATIONS TO SECURE PROPERTY FROM FLOODING
AND MAKE TENTATIVE PLANS TO SEEK HIGHER GROUND.

THE TRACK OF THIS SYSTEM STILL REMAINS UNCERTAIN AND THEREFORE ANY
SHIFT OF THE TRACK FROM THE FORECAST WILL EITHER DECREASE OR
INCREASE THE EXPECTED AMOUNT OF RAIN AND WHERE IT WILL FALL.

and with a story in today's AJC about how if Atlanta gets only .20 more rain and we've set a yearly record, we could be in for a major flood event just like with Cindy and Dennis.
