The worst flooding seen Woodstock nine records set
Experts agree – flooding around Woodstock is the worst seen in years, perhaps even all life. In fact, nine new records were set due to rains and floods that have ravaged much of Georgia, including:
A 90-year mark high was reached when the Chattahoochee River reached 29.61 meters, breaking the old high of 29.11 set in December 1919. Downstream set another record as the river approached 30 feet.
Not to be outdone, the Yellow River and Lithonia new set maxima at 25.5 and 21.96 respectively, while Nickajack Creek reached 19.3 feet, and Suwanee in more than 14 feet. In fact, records throughout Georgia can continue in the near future as floods continue to rise and build up.
