Summary

Flash flooding after heavy rain sent the Ocoee and Toccoa Rivers to record crests near 18 feet, inundating downtown Copperhill, Tennessee, and McCaysville, Georgia. Dozens to more than 80 people were rescued by air and water crews, with differing rescue tallies across accounts. One firefighter was injured when a propane tank caught fire and exploded in McCaysville; officials said at least six buildings burned, believed to have been started by lightning. Governors and county officials declared states of emergency in Fannin, Gilmer, Murray and Union counties (Georgia) and Polk County (Tennessee). Shelters opened, water service was disrupted with boil-water advisories, and schools and government offices closed. The TVA continues managing dam releases and warns that flows will rise again when water is released from Blue Ridge Dam.
