* 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
McKaskey Creek Campground is a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers facility located on Allatoona Lake in Bartow County, Georgia, approximately 45 miles north of Atlanta. The 11-mile-long lake and its 270 miles of shoreline offer excellent opportunities for boating, fishing, swimming, and kayaking. The campground features 51 sites, including 32 with 50-amp electric and water hookups and primitive tent-only sites without pads. The rolling terrain around the lake is covered in dense hardwood forest including oak, maple, blackgum, dogwood, magnolia, and hickory trees. Wildlife is abundant, with white-tailed deer, foxes, raccoons, and occasional black bear sightings. Campground amenities include handicap-accessible flush restrooms, hot showers, a dump station, coin-operated laundry, a sandy swimming beach, playground, and boat ramp. Nearby attractions include Red Top Mountain State Park with over 15 miles of trails, the Tellus Science Museum, Etowah Indian Mounds, and Booth Western Art Museum in Cartersville.
