Flood Watch issued July 22 at 11:19AM EDT until July 25 at 12:00AM EDT by NWS Peachtree City GA
* WHAT...Flooding caused by excessive rainfall is possible. * WHERE...Portions of north central, northeast, and northwest Georgia, including the following counties, in north central Georgia, Cherokee, Dawson, Fannin, Forsyth, Gilmer, Hall, Lumpkin, Pickens and Union. In northeast Georgia, Banks, Towns and White. In northwest Georgia, Bartow, Catoosa, Chattooga, Dade, Floyd, Gordon, Murray, Polk, Walker and Whitfield. * WHEN...From 8 PM EDT this evening through late Friday evening. * IMPACTS...Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations. Flooding may occur in poor drainage and urban areas. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS... - Repeated rounds of rainfall along a stalled frontal boundary are likely through late week. An anomalously moist environment over Georgia will support high rain rates and increased chances for flash flooding. Widespread rainfall of 2 to 4 inches will be possible with locally higher amounts of 5 inches or more. Urban areas, and areas with poor drainage, will be the most susceptible to flash flooding. - http://www.weather.gov/safety/flood
About
Lake Chatuge Recreation Area is a day-use facility operated by the Chattahoochee-Oconee National Forest in Towns County, Georgia, near the town of Hiawassee. The recreation area sits along the shores of Lake Chatuge, a TVA reservoir with 132 miles of shoreline that straddles the Georgia-North Carolina border. The site provides boat launch access for motorized watercraft and day hiking opportunities in the surrounding Blue Ridge Mountain foothills. No overnight camping facilities are available at this location. Visitors seeking overnight camping should consider nearby Forest Service campgrounds such as Lake Winfield Scott or Dockery Lake in the Blue Ridge Ranger District. No fees are charged for day use at this site. Potable water is not available, so visitors should bring their own drinking water.
