'Fay' leftovers could help north Georgia

North Georgia is expected to get a heavy dose of much-needed rain over the next few days in the wake of tropical storm Fay and its slow move across the southeastern U.S. Some forecasters say up to 10 inches of rain could fall in some areas of north Georgia through Wednesday. There is a flash flood watch that will go in effect later this afternoon for the region. Residents in south Georgia are dealing with the massive amounts of rainfall that began into the past weekend--some areas were said to have received up to 15 inches. There was one Georgia death tied to the storm--a Grady County boy died while playing near a drainage ditch as he was overcome by rushing waters.
