Heavy rain moved slowly across the Gulf Coast on Sunday
night into Monday, triggering flash flooding in the South.
The hardest hit areas are parts of central Alabama, along
with central Mississippi and Georgia. One person died after their car was
washed into a creek in the Atlanta suburb of Lilburn Monday. Recovery crews
also found the body of a 9-year-old Yazoo City girl, who authorities say was
swept away by flash flood waters.
Rescue teams in Pelham, Ala. had to rush about two dozen
residents out of a mobile home park early Monday as water rose chest-high. In
Mississippi, the rising Tallahala Creek threatens to flood homes in Laurel.
The heaviest rain moved east into the Florida Panhandle up
through the Carolinas by Monday afternoon, prompting a tornado watch through 11
p.m. Eastern.
