There were hundreds of delays following the weather.”

Some areas of Gwinnett, Lilburn and Snellville experienced major flooding. In these areas, roads where evacuated and closed for the time being, The Atlanta Journal Constitution explained, “Heavy rains forced the closing Monday of schools and of dozens of roads in Gwinnett — mostly in the Lilburn and Snellville areas. In Lilburn flood waters overturned a school bus and pushed around several others like toys on a bus lot near Parkview High on Cole Drive.”
