Flood of 94'

It was the end of the month of June in 1994 when the tropical storm Alberto struck the east cost of the United States through Destin and made its way through Georgia. This storm caused more than 10 inches of rain in the Ocmulgee river near the beautiful city of Macon. Near the river there is a man made levee which couldn't hold this unprecedented amount of rain which ended up in aflood. Several people died and the economic damage was of millions, with its toll still rising since people near the river now have to have insurance against it. Here are some pictures.
