The heavy rainfall has caused a roadway washout which has forced authorities to close Flat Creek Road in a portion of Peachtree City.

PEACHTREE CITY, Ga. — The Peachtree City Fire Department said Saturday afternoon that a number of condos and vehicles in the Tinsley Mill Village area, along Lake Peachtree, have experienced some flooding due to Saturday's heavy rains.

Authorities said the area is along Lake Peachtree.
