Keep your powder dry! Obammy might be cruising down your way.

Ya'll think it's bad now, wait until your swamp dawgs get beat down by the Sun Devils this Saturday. :bat:

One of our SAR team members who works for a local PD just outside Atlanta, has been doing rescues in the flooded areas for a few days.

He worked from 5 am until 3 am the following day between Douglas and Cobb County!

In one of the rescues in Douglas County, he had to go after a man, his wife and 20 month old baby after the were swept off a bridge and into the trees. Two firefighters trying to effect rescue, capsized and had to be picked up as well.
These firefighters risk thier lives daily for total strangers! My hats off to them:c:

Everyone's safe, but he said the waters were estimated at approx. 35 mph and very turbulent!
Got swamped once (about 50 gallons into the hull:nshock: but had the foresight when having the boat built, to have two (2) 2300 gph bilge pumps installed....these are AIRBOATS btw, not your average rubber white water boat;)

Got the boat back on dry ground for a bit to dewater it (only takes a few seconds) and back into the water!

Using the airboat, and with the help of the Fire Department, they were able to string line across the river, secure it, and form a safety line to get to the firefighters and auto victims.
From there, everyone was pulled to safety:c:

He no more than gets out of the water when Cobb County calls and asks for assistance.

There he found huge flooding....but calm waters (thank God!-He said that last one was enough excitement for one tour!)

Not only is he one of our team members, but also a local SWAT guy.

He worked with our team in New Orleans after Katrina.:U:

The last word we got was...more rain on the way:(

You folks stay safe up there, and watch those flooded roads/bridges...they'll take you with them....
