It seemed like it was "raining all over the world," as the song "Rainy Night in Georgia" goes -- and the more than 2 inches of rain that fell across Coweta County Tuesday night and Wednesday swelled local creeks.
Drivers along Lower Fayetteville Road Wednesday morning noticed racing water in ditches.
The waters of Shoal Creek came close to the bridge at Highway 34 East, and water was out of the banks of White Oak Creek at the soccer fields at Whitlock Park on 34.
At 5 p.m. Wednesday, 2.52 inches of rain had been recorded at The Times-Herald building in downtown Newnan

I hope everyone is alright. This is some weather event we are stuck in. Drought isn't good but neither is this. Hopefully 2010 will put us back in the middle of the two.
