Decatur Squared reported on Twitter…

Visible smoke reported at the 911 dispatch center in #DecaturGA. This does not bode well for the rest of the afternoon.

Also Will sent along this pic via Twitter of construction cones floating away in the flood along Commerce Drive.

Tree down Lamont & Vidal. GA Power on scene. Power should be restored in 1.5 hrs

Holy cow.

You’ve gotta see this photo that was sent into Fox5 yesterday of flooding across from Decatur High School!  That’s East Maple, correct?

Geez, I didn’t realize things were quite that bad yesterday.

Lots of rain in the area this morning.

Flash-flood warnings cover most of the metro area until 2:45p this afternoon. Decatur’s Code Red Weather Alert just issued a flood warning.

Up to 4 inches of rain is expected.

Roads are flooded. My basement is flooding more than usual.  My feet are wet.

Captain Obvious out.

The great Decatur photog, HamwithCam, captured one of the many lightning strikes that hit around Decatur last night.

It was one of those nights when the lightning was so frequent, you’d swear there was a mob of paparazzi outside your door.
