This is more rain than Ivan dumped on us

[Lynnie]

Lake Allatoona is up 6 feet in 24 hours. We're above full summer pool.

We've had no rain since 6 pm, but I know another round is headed our direction overnight. I think I will work from home tomorrow. My commute is an hour & a half on a normal day, and tomorrow's drive has nightmare potential. Think I'll skip it this time.

If you live up by Allatoona, you're already on the warnings for flooding until 2:30AM. The reason I couldn't get to yoga today, which is literally 1/2 mi. from my house, was because 75/85 was closed and that gridlocked Peachtree. Enjoy your day at home! And, be safe!!

I left Midtown about 30 minutes before the 75/85 fiasco. Something told me I needed to get out of Dodge and closer to my kids before things got worse. You just have to trust your instinct sometimes.

Hope you stay safe and dry tonight!

Agreed.

Thank goodness we live on a hill. If it flooded here, someone would need to build an arc.

Lynnie, what is a wellie?

Dried up here. Now, clean up. Are you coming down for a celebration or what?

Agreed.

Well, lemme just edjumacate Y'all. If you're from N. Europe, they're wellies. If you're from the Deep South, they're rubbers. I was just being polite. ;-)

Only my friends from the South know what I'm talking about when I tell them, 'I had my rubbers on.'

As Johnny Carson used to say, "I did not know that."

I thought a wellie was some kind of pump for removing water.

BTW did you hear that Atlanta will get 1-3 inches between that afternoon and tomorrow night? If the forecast doesn't get better, no way I'm going to the Georgia Tech/UNC game. No point in watching it in the clubhouse on a monitor when I can watch it at home on TV.

I love Johnny Carson! And, I will be watching my sump pump this weekend with maybe a little football!

Just spoke with a client who was closing on a house last Friday on Peachtree Battle Ave. Didn't close, house flooded on Monday and now they do not have to close if they don't want to; but, they are negotiating a better price!
