Some of the worst flooding is in Georgia, where the raging current has claimed at least three lives. Two drivers were swept off of roadways overrun by water.

Emergency response teams have been stretched to their limits. High-water rescues continue around the clock.

In Tennessee, family members tried to save a man who bet 5 dollars with friends and relatives, that he could swim across the rapids. He was swept away when he could no longer hold on to a garden hose they were using as a life-line.
