And the flood waters receeded

[alfsauve]

Thanks everybody.   Primarily this hit those in Douglas, Paulding and the south and west part of Cobb County.   I live in east Cobb and except for some street flooding, some limbs down and roof and basement leakage we're okay.  Most roads back open.  For those hard hit it was pretty bad.  The rest of us are collecting donations to help them out.

My work/church is fine though we discovered a dozen new leaks in the various roofs.    There was one close by lightning hit whose EMP took out 5 lights in one hall.  IT was a little confusing at first.  I was sitting at the light board and all the lights went out, but when power came back on it wasn't as bright as before. All the lights in the row above the sound and lighting board were burned out.   Lighting/EMP does weird things.

Here's the picture I really wanted to share.   For those unfamiliar we've been under sever drought restrictions for about 2 years.

Oh and here's the best collection of pictures if you interested.  User submitted pictures by one of the local TV stations.  Has over 3,200 pic's as of this posting.

Geez alf, I remember reading Pathfinders posts from the Dakota flooding. Knew it was bad when I saw the news.

I guess Lake Lanier is full again??

10 dead.  Not nearly as devastating as the past floods in other parts of the US.

Lanier is still 3.20' below full - insignificant.  Gaining a net 8,599 cu feet per second (inflow minus outflow) today.
