In Brantley County as example, county commission chairman Ron Ham says problems remain for numerous roads in the area. Originally, he says more than 20 roads were overtaken by the waters of the Satilla River.

"Many of those are still under water today. I talked to the road department this morning—we’ve written over 200 work orders for roads that are cut-into, washed-out, pipes are blown out…just a wide variety of problems."And numerous Brantley County families were forced from their homes due to the flooding.
