Georgia's governor has declared a state of emergency for all the state's counties south of Interstate 20 because of flooding. Thursday's declaration follows recent heavy rains. Although the rain was diminishing, flood problems persisted. Gov. Brian Kemp says the emergency declaration makes it easier to deploy state resources to the affected areas.
