State emergency management officials say it will be next week at the earliest to determine how much damage was done by flooding in Georgia over the past two weeks. Officials with the Georgia Emergency Management Agency say more than 50 counties have been impacted by flooding--with south Georgia especially hard hit. As flood waters recede in Brantley County, federal officials there are evaluating close to 100 homes either damaged or destroyed by high water. In various other counties, officials are still being urged to boil water if their wells were flooded.
