Dragonslayer Posted September 21, 2009 Share #1 Posted September 21, 2009 Trapped by the rain, no fooling. there is a creek and a bridge in the middle of my subdivision which is flooding which means we are trapped in the subdivision with no way out. And Spagetti junction is even flooded. World's largest expressway interchange I 85 & I 285. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sylvester Posted September 22, 2009 Share #6 Posted September 22, 2009 I feel for you guys, I live near Shelby, NC and we are wet but not getting anything like you. I even got three acres mowed yesterday and saw the sun for a brief while. Rain through Sunday here but chances are lower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenw Posted September 22, 2009 Share #7 Posted September 22, 2009 Had an 9" creek flowing through the back yard during the worst of it. Came close to the foudation, but thank you Jesus the house stayed dry! All the schools in the area and a lot of the roads in the area are still closed, but I fared better than a lot of the people out there. Things look a whole lot better today up here in Acworth.

mini-muffin Posted September 22, 2009 Share #11 Posted September 22, 2009 I hope the rain stops sometime soon. Either you don't get any or you get way too much rain. Margaret Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveW Posted September 22, 2009 Share #12 Posted September 22, 2009 Ok I'm asking for wood donations so I can start building an ARK. All who donate will have a place on it. LOL I don't believe it there is a bright shiny thing in the sky !!!! ( Maybe I can put the ARK on hold ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandyR Posted September 22, 2009 Share #13 Posted September 22, 2009 Yep, sun is out now. I'm going to take the RSTD out for a short spin. However, weather report is for the rain to move back in later this afternoon and continue thru the weekend.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venturous Randy Posted September 22, 2009 Share #14 Posted September 22, 2009 I went out a little before lunch to sunshine. I ended up taking my lunch to go home and get my bike. Had a nice ride back to work and hopefully a nice ride home. It seems like it has been a while since I have seen sunshine. RandyA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragonslayer Posted September 22, 2009 Author Share #16 Posted September 22, 2009 Is lake lanier full yet. GreggStill 6 feet below full pool I had heard on Monday. I think we're pumping it to Alabama and Florida as soon as it hits the lake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragonslayer Posted September 22, 2009 Author Share #18 Posted September 22, 2009 Yea it was pretty nice today no rain the problem was that power went out during the gully washer yesterday about this time and they just got it restored a few minutes ago so we've been without power for 24 hours . I wonder how long it's gonna take them to get the cable back on. The creek is no longer flooding and is back down to close to normal. So, we are no longer physically stranded. I started off being physically stranded by the creek then Technically stranded by the loss of power. Now I'm intellecterally stranded with no TV. I'm not sure which is worse. I did however read a good John Grisham book over the past 24 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mini-muffin Posted September 22, 2009 Share #19 Posted September 22, 2009 Still 6 feet below full pool I had heard on Monday. I think we're pumping it to Alabama and Florida as soon as it hits the lake. My mom use to wonder why when we would get lots and lots of rain it seemed most of it misses the reservoir. Hope the rain hits that and not any of you anymore. Margaret Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atlm Posted September 23, 2009 Share #21 Posted September 23, 2009 Monday the lake was 5.1 feet below full. Tuesday it was 3.5 feet. It rose over 19 inches in a day! http://lanier.uslakes.info/Level.asp We got to ride our RSV for the first time yesterday evening (since our test ride in the rain a week ago Sunday). The weather was beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenw Posted September 23, 2009 Share #22 Posted September 23, 2009 Looks like the worst is over. Took a ride around ysterday and no more roads closed (at least in my area). The sun was shining and some people were even able to cut their lawns. It seems the water left as quick as it came! What a difference a day makes. Thanks everyone for your concerns!!
