Deadly storms in states to the west of Georgia have moved into the northern part of our state, bringing torrential rains that have flooded roadways, pushed rivers over their banks and washed out some low-lying areas.
The photos posted here are from various locations in our region. We welcome any photos from our readers, and we will add them to our photo gallery as time permits. Email any photo contributions to [email protected].
