It could be weeks for residents in three southeast Georgia counties to recover from flooding of the Satilla River--that's the word from county officials. Emergency officials in Pierce, Ware, and Brantley counties say nearly 50 families have been displaced, with their homes likely uninhabitable. Flood waters were finally receding yesterday, but damage remains in the region.
In extreme south Georgia, flood waters from the Withlacoochee River have begun to roll back in some areas of Lowndes County. The National Weather Service is forecasting the river may finally fall below flood stage sometime on Friday. Numerous road closures remain in the county and the Valdosta-area.
