BFrank Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken Dryden Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 Lots better today. Yesterday, heavy rains caused flooding in parts of Southeast Tennessee around Chattanooga and in numerous Georgia counties from the state line down to Atlanta.

BERIGAN Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 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.... 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 http://lanier.uslakes.info/Level.asp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthew Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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!!!

Jazzmoose Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 It's great! Still in the low 80s/high 70s during the day, dropping down to the low 40s for sleep, not a cloud in the sky. Perfect! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffcrom Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 Fortunately, we on the south side "only" got about 7-8 inches over the past week.... Berigan, where do you stay at? (As we inner-city types say.) I'm in the Candler Park neighborhood, just around the corner from the Flying Biscuit, and a mile east of Little Five Points.

papsrus Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 Dark, with the forecast calling for conditions to remain dark overnight before slowly getting lighter again at dawn, followed by increasing lightness throughout the early morning hours tomorrow. Skies will be light through the day tomorrow, but look for increasing darkness again as evening approaches. We're likely to have another dark one tomorrow night. September's been pretty much like August here -- although wetter and a bit more humid. But still dang warm. The water, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim McG Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 (edited) At 5:05 p.m. -- 102 Drive 250 miles to the North, Matthew. At 10PM it'll still be 90 degrees. Our low is 71. The beach isn't that far away from your house and the afternoon sea breezes take care of the rest. Count your blessings.
