Nothing else to understand. DO NOT allow waters that are overflowing their banks to come in contact with your skin and if you do, go to a shelter immediately and ask for access to clean and dry clothes following a shower with soap and water.

In Atlanta, Raw Sewage In Chattahoochee River Adds To Flooding Woes (click title to entry - thank you)
By Mark Memmott
Torrential rains that have already led to at least half a dozen deaths in the Southeast have now produced flooding that overwhelmed a water treatment plant in Atlanta this morning, "causing a massive dump of raw sewage" into the Chattahoochee River, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
According to the newspaper, "the R.M. Clayton plant is the largest in Georgia with capacity to treat 240 million gallons of sewage a day."
One bit of good news: Lake Lanier, which supplies most of Atlanta's water, has been partly replenished.
What the hell is going on in this country? Have people become complete baffons? When there is this amount of rainfall it didn't happen without warning?
What is everyone saying? "Gosh, Martha, we got a little of rain outside?" Is that the kind of idiocy that exists these days. Waiting for someone to tell you it is time to hit the highway and get out of Dodge? Think people, there are scalebacks in government and the Sherrif might not be coming to the neighborhood to rescue you when the OBVIOUS is all around.
The 'deluges' of water from the sky will result in huge accumulations of water very, very quickly actually. My insulting remarks is to get the point across, people HAVE TO think and react to such dire consequences as they happen. This is an extremely different climate and there is no time to waste when 'tropical rainfall' hits downtown Atlanta and the suburbs. YES, that is correct. The deluges are the equivalent of a tropical rain event.

In the satellite above, there is a profoundly simple identification of the mixture of hot tropical air from the Equator mixing with cold Arctic Air over the USA. I would not expect this weather pattern to change in the near future.
