A second round of rain brought flooding
and flash flooding to many of the same
areas that experienced flooding during
the early morning hours. While the flash
flood events were primarily confined to
the same areas that experienced flooding
and flash flooding earlier in the
morning, general flooding spread further
north and east toward La Grange,
Peachtree City, and Macon. Areas north
to near Peachtree City and Macon
experienced average rain for the day of
two to four inches. Specific information
from several counties was received as
indicated below:
Bibb: Several inches of rain fell across
the county causing general, albeit
mostly minor flooding. However, the heavy
rain overwhelmed sewer lines causing
extensive sewage spills into the
Ocmulgee River. Two sewage spills were
reported at more 10,000 gallons each,
considered major spills. One spill
reached 61,700 gallons and the other
35,400 gallons. Both spills contaminated
the Ocmulgee River.
Carroll: The public reported that
several creeks in the Roopville area
were out of their banks. Water, about
three inches deep, was flowing over the
roadways.
Coweta: The Times Herald of Newnan
reported that heavy rain on the order of
three inches or more caused an 18,900
gallon sewage spill from the Coweta
County sewage treatment plant. The
sewage spilled into White Oak Creek.
Fayette: The Fayette County Emergency
Management Director and Peachtree City
Police reported flooding at the Three
Ponds area and several golf cart paths
near Peachtree Parkway. Flooding was
also reported in the Tinsley Mills area
of Peachtree City. Several condos and

necessary at any minute because Lake
Peachtree was overflowing its banks.
However, no flash flooding occurred as
a result of the lake overflow.

sewage spill in the city of Dublin. Much
of the county, including Dublin received
24-hour rainfall of six to nine inches.
Meriwether County: The Meriwether

the closed roads included Keith Road,
Piney Woods Road, Primrose Road, and
Straight Road. Rainfall across the
county was mostly in the two to three
inch range.
Monroe - The Monroe County Reporter of
Forsyth reported that heavy rains
resulted in a small stream to overflow
onto Reedy Creek Road. The road had to
be closed as a consequence.
Troup: Weather Service radar showed that
rainfall of three to four inches was
common across the county.
Twiggs County: The Twiggs County Sheriff
reported high water on a number of roads
in the county, but no flash flooding or
road closures were reported. All roads
were open. The roads with the most
significant problems were U.S. Highway
80, Georgia Highway 96 at the Houston

four to five inches was reported across
much of the county, with southern
portions of the county receiving five
to six inches of rain.
Upson County: The Upson County Emergency
Management Director reported that several
rivers and creeks were above bankfull
throughout the county. This had resulted
in at least one road closure. The Flint
river at Culloden had risen seven feet
since 6 am, and by 6 pm had reached a
level of 14 feet, still below the 18 foot
flood stage. However, the Flint river was
out of its banks at Adams Ferry Road and
the road was closed. South Earle Road
near the Talbot county line was also
flooded, with six inches of water over
the road. The flooding threatened several
homes near Georgia Highway 36 in the far

Flood
Widespread heavy rain fell across much
of the western and central portions of
Middle Georgia. The heaviest rain fell
from near Lumpkin and Americus northeast
to near Jeffersonville and about 50
miles either side. The heavy rain fell
in two rounds, one during the early
morning from roughly 5 am EST to 10 am
EST and another from around 2 pm to 7
pm EST. Rainfall across much of this
area averaged three to five inches with
local amounts of six to eight inches
between Americus and Hawkinsville.
Several counties across the western and
central portions of Middle Georgia
experienced flash flooding during this
event. Several dam breakages were
reported. General flooding continued
across the area for a couple of days.
While general flooding was reported
throughout much of the area, specific
information was received from the
counties listed below:
Crisp - The County 911 Center reported
that a number of roads were flooded
from many hours of heavy rain early in
the morning. Rainfall of three to four
inches fell from midnight until noon
EST across the northwest part of the
county, with an additional inch of rain
during the afternoon hours. The
southeast part of the county only
received two to three inches total.
Muscogee - County 911 Center reported
that three to four inches of rain had
fallen since midnight across the
county. The heavy rain had resulted in
numerous flooded streets in Columbus
and flooding of the Riverwalk along
the Chattahoochee River in the southern
portions of downtown Columbus.
Stewart - The Lumpkin/Richland Police
Department reported that overnight
heavy rain had caused flooding of
several streets in Richland. Rainfall
of four to five inches fell across
the county between midnight and noon
EST on the 27th.
Sumter - Extensive flooding remained
across the county, even after the flash
flooding had subsided. Among other
items, the Sumter Humane Society
reported that one foot of water had
accumulated in the building.
Talbot - Flooding along the Flint River
near Georgia Highway 36 in the far
northeast part of the county threatened
to flood several homes. Water rose into
the yards of the homes, but not into
the homes. Residents of the area were
warned that evacuations may be
necessary at any minute.
Telfair - After flash flooding damaged
and washed out several roads in the
county during the early morning hours,
flooding continued to affect many areas
of the county throughout the day.
Railroad tracks, parking lots, and some
roads remained under water.
Treutlen - Early morning heavy rain
caused flooding of several roads in
the western portion of the county,
including Georgia Highways 46 and 199
and Crooked Run Road. Wildwood Lake
overflowed its banks from the excessive
runoff and flooded Georgia Highway 46.
Some damage was reported to Georgia

Flood
A second round of rain brought flooding
and flash flooding to many of the same
areas that experienced flooding during
the early morning hours. While the flash
flood events were primarily confined to
the same areas that experienced flooding
and flash flooding earlier in the
morning, general flooding spread further
north and east toward La Grange,
Peachtree City, and Macon. Areas north
to near Peachtree City and Macon
experienced average rain for the day of
two to four inches. Specific information
from several counties was received as
indicated below:
Bibb: Several inches of rain fell across
the county causing general, albeit
mostly minor flooding. However, the heavy
rain overwhelmed sewer lines causing
extensive sewage spills into the
Ocmulgee River. Two sewage spills were
reported at more 10,000 gallons each,
considered major spills. One spill
reached 61,700 gallons and the other
35,400 gallons. Both spills contaminated
the Ocmulgee River.
Carroll: The public reported that
several creeks in the Roopville area
were out of their banks. Water, about
three inches deep, was flowing over the
roadways.
Coweta: The Times Herald of Newnan
reported that heavy rain on the order of
three inches or more caused an 18,900
gallon sewage spill from the Coweta
County sewage treatment plant. The
sewage spilled into White Oak Creek.
Fayette: The Fayette County Emergency
Management Director and Peachtree City
Police reported flooding at the Three
Ponds area and several golf cart paths
near Peachtree Parkway. Flooding was
also reported in the Tinsley Mills area
of Peachtree City. Several condos and
apartments in the area were threatened
by flood waters and residents of the
area were warned that evacuations may be
necessary at any minute because Lake
Peachtree was overflowing its banks.
However, no flash flooding occurred as
a result of the lake overflow.
Laurens: The Courier Herald of Dublin
reported that heavy rain resulted in a
sewage spill in the city of Dublin. Much
of the county, including Dublin received
24-hour rainfall of six to nine inches.
Meriwether County: The Meriwether
County 911 Center reported that several
roads in the county had high water on
them and had to be closed. No flash
flooding was reported, however. Some of
the closed roads included Keith Road,
Piney Woods Road, Primrose Road, and
Straight Road. Rainfall across the
county was mostly in the two to three
inch range.
Monroe - The Monroe County Reporter of
Forsyth reported that heavy rains
resulted in a small stream to overflow
onto Reedy Creek Road. The road had to
be closed as a consequence.
Troup: Weather Service radar showed that
rainfall of three to four inches was
common across the county.
Twiggs County: The Twiggs County Sheriff
reported high water on a number of roads
in the county, but no flash flooding or
road closures were reported. All roads
were open. The roads with the most
significant problems were U.S. Highway
80, Georgia Highway 96 at the Houston
county line, and Church Road in
Jeffersonville. Widespread rainfall of
four to five inches was reported across
much of the county, with southern
portions of the county receiving five
to six inches of rain.
Upson County: The Upson County Emergency
Management Director reported that several
rivers and creeks were above bankfull
throughout the county. This had resulted
in at least one road closure. The Flint
river at Culloden had risen seven feet
since 6 am, and by 6 pm had reached a
level of 14 feet, still below the 18 foot
flood stage. However, the Flint river was
out of its banks at Adams Ferry Road and
the road was closed. South Earle Road
near the Talbot county line was also
flooded, with six inches of water over
the road. The flooding threatened several
homes near Georgia Highway 36 in the far
southwest part of the county near the
Talbot county line. Residents in the area
were warned that evacuations may be
necessary at any minute. Potato Creek at
Del Ray Road in the northeast part of
the county was just two feet from flood
stage.
Macon County
South Portion Flash Flood
