Significant flooding ongoing in parts of north Georgia this morning. The Toccoa/Ocoee is dam controlled along most of the river, so flooding like this takes very significant rainfall concentrated right over a specific area. 16.8 ft is the second highest crest. The previous 2nd place was below 10 ft.
