:lightning Thinking of all of you in Georgia it sounds just horrible!!!! Here in Missouri it was an awesome day, but new we were getting the rain this evening. I tried to get to the library before it started and OMG!!! It was raining so hard so fast I could not see to drive, even with an umbrella I was SOAKED.....my shoes, shirts, pants, then when I got home I had to take poor Cooper out so he already had a Tshirt on so I put his leather jacket over it. Such a good boy, HATES to get wet, but ran out did his business and me and him were back in a flash. |
Holy smokes!!!:eek: I just looked at a bunch of the flooding photos - that is CRAZY! Hoping all YT Georgians are staying high and dry - especially Zoe's grandma, Valerie!! Praying for sunny skies soon! |

:eek: I just went back and read this thread!!! OMG!! We are flying into Birmingham tomorrow ... via Dallas!! I was glad we were going because today they predicted snow here in CO on the front range. Now ... not so sure! I believe I would rather deal with the snow rather than the rain and flooding!! DRAT!!! :( We will keep all of you in Georgia in our prayers! |
I liked your title! I'm in Metro Atl and it's nuts here! They are predicting rain through Sunday, I'm sure the worst is still to come. I think we can expect more school and prolly business closings too. Buckhead looks like a river is runnning through it, interstates have been shut down. Lakewood amphitheater is underwater. I have a friend who had a mudslide that collapsed the foundation wall in her basement and she now has a gaping hole in the side of her house. Needless to say the house is now unlivable. So far we are safe, but unless this rain stops I fear we are in for it. |

We now have a new pond in our back yard! :eek: Literally, the kids want to go swimming! LOL! |
I just saw that on the news...how awful. I went through that years ago in NJ...flooding is NOT fun. I hope everyone is ok. :( |

About this time of the year, our weather should be rainy/windy, highs in mid 60s and lows upper 30s. Instead, we have sunny weather, temps in the 70s lows 50s. I think that this global warming stuff is really impacting everyone. Me, I would rather have the snow, I mean what do you expect in Minnesota? I hope you all in Georga keep dry and furbabies especially. |
Wow! And I thought snow was a pain. The rain sounds MISERABLE. Just so you know, our record has been pleasant. A little rain, but fall is late to arrive. I'm all in favor in naming the storm of the year after Villette, YT's poster extraordinaire! Hurricane Vee has a nice ring to it. :p |

Update on the weather here... Good Morning America is here to report on the sever conditions. The body of the missing baby has been found. All schools in metro ATL are closed (Gwinnett, Dekalb,Cobb,Clayton,Fulton,and Fayettte county), more than 8700 people had to stay in shelters, detour roads have detours, most creeks and rivers are 15 feet above flood level. grocery stores are flooded, stores that normally are open for 24 hours are closed, all major highways (85, 75, 595, and 20) are closed and blocked off. I think highway 20 is open with one lane, but there is a major accident there now, so traffic is back up for at least 6-7 hours, Six "Flags Over Georgia is flooded and has major damage. Sirens have been going off all night, some streets are literally gone, bridges are damaged, power outages in most counties, school buses have been overturned; everyone is advised to stay home. It is not raining at the moment, but we are supposed to get more rain today thru Friday! You can see the news online at wsbtv.com...(ABC affiliate.) |

I'm so sorry to hear of all the bad weather you are having. Oh and those poor lives lost. What a shame. I'll be praying that you get some relief. Please stay safe. |
Thank you everyone for your prayers for the people here in Ga. Unfortunately, a young male child has also died; the dealth toll is now seven. I am so grateful that it is not worse than it is. The local news reported that they expected several fatalities. |
All this rain is just terrible. Stay safe all of you in Georgia and everywhere there is flooding:eek: |
It looks like more rain is on it's way. Prayers coming for you. Atlanta News, Sports, Atlanta Weather, Business News| ajc.com |

I live in Rome, we must be north of the worst weather. We have had torrential downpours and some flooding, but nothing like you have reported that Atlanta has had. On a lighter note - the sun was out for about 7 1/2 minutes earlier. Maybe that is a foreshadow of better weather. |

They are saying that depending on today, the rain may start to receed by tomorrow night. Georgia may be in the state of emergency status. They are unable to put a monetary figure on the damages because everything is under muddy water. |
wow.. Keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers.. some nasty weather going on!! Um yeah those who got snow... KEEP IT!! :) |
I'm sorry if I am a bit cranky today. But all the kidding is upsetting. It must be devistating to these families who have lost loved ones and property. It sounds just awful. I don't think it helps to know how beautiful it is where you are. That doesn't help these poor people who are living with this flooding. My prayers go out to all of the people who are dealing with this. I hope it dries out soon and they can begin to assess their damage. Bless all of them and please keep them in your prayers. They must be so frightened. Sorry I didn't get the humor. |

Very considerate! Thank you. |

That is why we all changed our postings once we saw what was going on. Sometimes things get missed. See, even you missed that the posts and theme had changed once people were aware! I know that no one meant to offend anyone. |

None of us wish ill will on anyone and hope that the sun will come out soon. |
:cry8: I am so sorry to hear about everyone in Ga. I was listening to the news here in Jacksonville, Fl. and the floods are not like "some" water was overflowing, It showed a "River" going down the streets where people use to walk. OMG, what a shame. We are so close here, and nothing. Many, Many prayers going out to the people in Georgia, and everywhere else that may need a prayer. :hands::hands::hands::hands::hands::hands::hands: |
