The northern third of Georgia is experiencing non-stop torrential rains (a foot or more in 24 hours) and flooding. We live just a few feet (literally) from the Eastern Subcontinental Divide, so we're fine on some of the highest ground in Atlanta, but people living in river and creek basins are in bad shape, and about half a dozen people have died. I usually have a long commute - 40 or 45 minutes, but it took me two hours to get home today - road after road was flooded.

And it's still raining.

Didn't Georgia experience a drought last year? What's going on down there?

Yes, we had drought conditions in 2008 and 2009 - lake levels way down, outdoor water use restrictions, farmers hurting, etc. The drought was officially declared over a few months ago, but it now seems like cosmic payback time. I blame myself - I played Son House's "Dry Spell Blues" and "High Water Everywhere" by Charlie Patton back to back a few days ago....

Foggy.

I think we may have dodged a bullet. They have been predicting 80'-90's this week, but it looks like it's gonna be MUCH cooler.

LOVE the fog!

So do I.

Supposed to be yet another scorcher today.

Grrrr :angry:

Fortunately, we on the south side "only" got about 7-8 inches over the past week....it is weird to see that bright thing in the sky after so very long.

Did you see how much Lake Lanier has gone up in the past few days??? We should reach full pool yet, if the Army Corp of Engineers doesn't find some reason to start draining for no good reason

It was 102 when I passed the bank this morning at 10:30 a.m. For the past sixty days it's been in the 90-104 range the whole time. I hate the heat!

I feel your pain...trust me.

I think you're right. They were saying last night that it was going to be a scorcher today, but I just went out and it was sunny and quite cool. I thank God I don't live inland!!! :rolleyes::):tup
