9. SOUNDBITE (English) Battalion Chief Ronald Slatton, Atlanta Fire Department:
"Just had some rising water from the creeks. There’s creeks located behind the residence. So we did have a lot of rising water. It looked like it was about four to five feet. So we had some residents that wanted to be removed from their homes. Everything was non-emergency. There were no injuries or anything like that. It was just residents that didn’t feel safe with the water rising and wanted to be removed from their residence."
10. Rushing waters in Peachtree Creek
STORYLINE:
Emergency workers in Florida, Georgia and elsewhere rescued hundreds of people from boats, their homes and their cars as Hurricane Helene’s winds, rain and storm surge created havoc Friday on the Gulf of Mexico, in coastal neighborhoods and further inland.
The efforts of Florida’s 1,500 search-and-rescue personnel will be concentrated on securing and stabilizing affected communities through the weekend, said Kevin Guthrie, the state’s emergency operations director. The Category 4 storm made landfall on the Northwest Florida coast late Thursday, but it created flooding from storm surge all along the state’s Gulf Coast.
In Atlanta’s Buckhead neighborhood, Peachtree Creek overflowed and forced residents out of an apartment complex. Some had to be rescued by small boats and kayaks.
"Well, we were watching the news and hearing the warnings and all that through the evening and, um, went to bed you know thinking we wouldn’t have the brunt of it, but at 6 a.m. we saw the water rising up," said Stacy Quiros, as she stood at the flooded apartment complex parking lot.
