SUMMARY: Rescue operations are underway as firefighters use boats to evacuate residents from flooded apartments, with areas resembling ponds instead of parking lots. Water levels continue to rise, prompting concerns as rain persists. Many residents report waking up to several feet of water inside their homes, leading to chaotic situations where neighbors request urgent assistance. Survivors express sorrow over substantial property losses but some are relieved to have homeowners insurance. Families are evacuating with their children and pets, taking only what they can carry in bags, amid the heartbreaking circumstances. The situation remains critical as conditions worsen.

FOX 5’s Lindsay Tuman was there as members of an apartment complex in Buckhead had to be rescued from flood waters.
