Atlanta News First reported that multiple north Georgia counties experienced flash flooding Wednesday night, with Fannin and Gilmer counties under flash flood warnings until early Thursday morning.

Around 10:45 p.m., law enforcement noted that the heavy rain caused mudslides and possible water rescues in the affected areas, indicating dangerous conditions for residents.

WSB-TV added that emergency crews in Fannin County are actively responding to widespread flooding, rescuing residents from flooded homes and addressing several electrical fires reported due to the storm.

Officials continue to monitor the situation as rain showers are expected to persist overnight before partial clearing on Thursday, according to Atlanta News First.

Local authorities urge residents in north Georgia to stay alert and follow safety instructions as emergency response efforts continue.
