I have lived in the Atlanta area for 10 years and I cannot recall ever seeing so much rain and flooding in such a short period of time. According to the latest news, a toddler is dead after the child's home was swept away by flood waters in Carroll County, and two men, one identified as Kevin Hodges, 29, were killed by the rising waters across the metropolitan area. Rescuers pulled two adults and two children from the rain-swollen Snake Creek in Carroll County. In Douglas County, a man was killed when his vehicle was swept off a road by floodwaters. His body was found downstream from the road in a creek. Separately, a woman driver was killed as she tried to drive through standing water in Gwinnett County. Two other women have been reported as missing in Douglas County. Subdivision under water in Douglas County, GA
The flooding closed roads, highways and intersections all across the metro area this morning. Right now the rain is coming down in buckets. We have had mudslides, road collapsing and fire departments across the metro area have reported numerous calls for help from drivers stuck in high water after they tried to cross flooded roads. For example, in Gwinnett and Douglas counties, entire subdivisions were cut off when roads were covered with flood water or completely washed out.
