More than 10 years ago, large swaths of metro Atlanta were flooded when unrelenting rain fell from Sept. 15-22, 2009 on already-saturated ground. Roads were impassable, bridges were underwater, homes were inundated and even roller coasters at Six Flags were submerged.

From the Atlanta Journal Constitution News:

090921 Lilburn - RUSH HOUR MANIA - A female motorist abandons her flooded vehicle on I-75 South at spagetti junction as part of the highway becomes covered with water during rush hour on Monday, Sept. 21, 2009. A Georgia State patrolman arrived on the scene to help aid the motorist who declined to be identified. Curtis Compton, ccompton@ajc.com
