Heavy rains over the weekend in Atlanta have shut down the city. Two people have been killed (one of them tried to drive through standing water), traffic is at a standstill, almost all of the schools have been closed, and a boil water order has been issued because of water main breaks in the area. The local Channel 2 Action News said that all of Atlanta’s creeks and rivers are approaching flood level. Additional rain is expected today. The Lake Lanier water level has risen four inches since Saturday, but the risk of it overflowing is minimal, because of recent water shortages that lowered the lake by several feet.
