Flashback photos: The floods of 1994, Tropical Storm Alberto
It started as an annoyance, a dreary July 4th weather system that rained on everyone’s parades and dampened their fireworks. Then the rains kept coming from the leftovers of Tropical Storm Alberto, dumping a catastrophic amount of precipitation on Middle and South Georgia. The storm’s winds never topped 40 mph, but it produced some of the worst flooding ever in Georgia. Damage was estimated at close to $1 billion at the time, and 32 deaths were attributed to the storm, which was parked over Georgia for three days.
