Flooding rains swept through various counties in southeastern Georgia on Thursday, leading to the closure of part of Interstate 16 as westbound lanes became submerged under water.

Heavy rainfall on Wednesday and Thursday inundated Bulloch and Screven counties, with rainfall totals reaching between 8 to 10 inches (20 to 25 centimeters), as reported by the National Weather Service. Multiple counties were placed under flash flood warnings that lasted from Thursday morning until the evening.

Authorities in Bulloch County indicated that numerous roads were under water, necessitating traffic rerouting off I-16 near Statesboro due to the closure of all westbound lanes caused by flooding, according to the Georgia Department of Transportation’s website.

Meanwhile, Savannah experienced significant rainfall as well, with estimates of 6 to 8 inches (15 to 20 centimeters) reported. Local news sources shared images depicting vehicles stuck in flooded streets, with water levels rising well above their bumpers.

As of now, there have been no immediate reports of injuries related to the flooding.

The relentless rain fell in areas of Georgia that had experienced river flooding due to Tropical Storm Debby in August. Emergency management officials in Evans County took to social media to warn residents that the Canoochee River was projected to crest at a level similar to that which resulted in flooding of low-lying regions during the previous storm.

Evans County Emergency Management cautioned on Facebook, “If you were flooded during Debby, there is a good possibility that you will be flooded now.”
