00:00Around midnight last night, early this morning, a flash flood emergency was issued in far north Georgia.
00:06A small zone saw several inches, more than 8, 10, and even isolated reports up to 12 inches of rain.
00:13Let's zoom in on this area here into north Georgia.
00:16And again, it wasn't a large area, but areas right around Blue Ridge, Georgia.
00:20This is Georgia and then the Tennessee line and again, western parts of North Carolina as well.
00:26But mainly on the far north side of Georgia, we had reports of 11 to 14 inches of rain.
00:32And it came down to just a few hours' time.
00:34Cherry Log, Georgia, 14.4 inches.
00:37Prince Mountain had 12.58 inches.
00:40So it was a localized area, but it led to destructive flooding.
00:43Water rescues were needed there.
00:45And now things are a little quieter.
00:47We're not going to see another drop of rain in that specific area here.
00:50That was real close to the Tennessee, North Carolina, Georgia line there.
00:53The active weather on Friday is going to be mainly into the eastern Carolinas, especially northeastern North Carolina, with some
01:00soaking rain.
