"Like Six Flags in Louisiana during and after Hurricane Katrina, Georgia’s Six Flags is submerged under murky brown floods, parts of the rollercoaster disappearing under the opaque brown waters. Storms “stretching from Tennessee to Georgia to North Carolina” have flooded the area, killing at least six residents and trapping many others in their homes. A two year old boy was swept from his father’s arms in the flooding, later found dead downstream.
A breached levee in Trion, GA caused the evacuation of over 1,500 people, and several areas are without power. Also, the flood waters are cold, causing hypothermia in many victims. Schools across the waterlogged state remain closed and no relief is in sight until the end of the week. Meteorologists blame the flooding on a phenomenon known as “training,” when an area is repeatedly battered by high-yield thunderstorms."

"There is more rain possible across the Atlanta area for several days. There could be another 3-5 inches of rain in the area.
The storms have claimed 15 lives across the Southeast.
Authorities urged people who don't need to drive to stay home, a day after Georgia Gov. Sonny Purdue declared a state of emergency in 17 counties."
Note: 23" of rain in 24 hours + 11 days of rain (3 more days still to come) + below sea level =
Some random images (of the flood) I found over the internet
Raw Video posted earlier this day of the damage
Sky cam circles Six Flags
P.s. 'Everything here is subject to change nor do I own any of the pictures or vids'
