Title: How is everybody fairing with the rain
Post by: cru9 on December 24, 2015, 07:55:02 AM
I have been up since 7 shoveling gravel in my driveway. Ellijay is evacuating people that live by the river. We have got pounded up here since about 9 last night.

No problems for me, besides being annoyed.  I was between Dallas, Marietta, and Kennesaw yesterday with no problems detected.

Bobby, do you need help?

A ton of rain up here in Hiawassee.  I can hear the creek 1/8 mile down the road raging.  Detached garage is flooded, driveway is starting to look like Bell Mountain ruts!

Just a light shower and lots of lightning this morning at 6:30, but it's stopped now (south Forsyth County).

That sound of that small creek I heard was because it's about 4 feet deep now (usually about 6 inches). Also, I have a new waterfall and creek running down the mountain I live on, about 20 feet from my house and three feet from my firepit.  It's about 2 feet wide, 6 inches deep and moving fast.  Never ever been water there before.  My garage has inch of standing water in it.  Fun fun!

A few sections of i20 were partially closed due to flooding. Several accidents, little nissan in front of us almost hydroplaned into the median. We made it through fine though

No. I don't think my house would ever flood like that. It gets pretty hilly around my house
