The torrential rains that are battering Georgia is causing flooding that has claimed seven lives so far. To see the extent of the flooding, one just has to look at the state of Georgia's Six Flags amusement park. Six Flags is submerged in brown water. There were similar sights in Louisiana's Six Flags theme park during Hurricane Katrina.

Roller coaster tracks are practically underwater, with only the peaks of the ride poking out of the surface like the arch of a mythical sea serpent. The sight of Six Flags underwater is unsettling and unforgettable.

I was waiting just two miles from Six Flags to go ALL DAY long and didn't even realise it was so bad until i got home and saw the news. My entire road is filled with nothing but water, but my house is the only one that didn't get hit! It's crazy how fast this happened, too...

This is nothing new it floods every five years, last time was in 2005. They knew it was going to flood when they built it. The land purchase was cheap.
They will get 100 illegals out there cleaning up and have the park open this Saturday
Not a biggie just business as usual.
Its all a media game to get money from the government.
Believe me Six Flags will profit from it.

I am from Kennesaw but livein Texas for grad school. I know I am not hearing about the damage and loss on any media source....I have to google it and hear from family and friends. It is sad that there are so many unaware of the heartache and death. If America, the people, are not behind metro Atlanta then the American government is not going to do anything.

I mean, I was told the solution people are being given is that they should bleach anything that was flooded....SERIOUSLY it isn't a basement here and there...whole buildings were/are under water. There needs to be a clean up effort so health sake.

Man, I Iive in Powder Springs. Thankfully, my particular road didn't get hit as hard as others. We're all sitting ducks here...nobody can get past the blockades to different counties and major brudges (especially Thornton road). I can't BELIEVE Six Flags is just gone like that. It's surreal to see so much pain and suffering around me and we were not affected. I count myself lucky and hope for the best...my friends were not as fortunate. =\
