Record Flooding Hits Georgia-Tennessee Border Towns, Prompting Dozens of Rescues

Record Flooding Hits Georgia-Tennessee Border Towns, Prompting Dozens of Rescues

Heavy thunderstorms caused record-breaking flash flooding overnight in McCaysville, Georgia, and Copperhill, Tennessee, twin towns situated on the state border. The Toccoa River, which flows between the two communities, swelled to a record high of 18 feet, exceeding the catastrophic flood level by 2 feet. This deluge, with some areas receiving 8 to 10 inches of rain, submerged buildings up to their rooflines in parts of downtown McCaysville and Copperhill. Emergency responders conducted at least 57 swift water rescues in Georgia and 68 in Tennessee, evacuating dozens of residents from homes and businesses. McCaysville Police Chief Michael Earley reported that one police car was swept away by the floodwaters. The flooding also led to power and cellphone outages, the shutdown of McCaysville's water treatment plant, and a boil water advisory. This event marks the second significant flood for McCaysville in three months, with the downtown area having been inundated in August as well.

Nuclear Energy Sector Experiences Renaissance with New Reactor Designs and Increased Investment

The nuclear energy sector is undergoing a renaissance, marked by a convergence of scientific, technological, and economic factors. Over the past decade, there has been a significant resurgence in nuclear science and technology.

The White House has set goals for nuclear expansion, viewing it as an investment in national security. Even states like California and those in New England, which previously had moratoria on new reactor construction, are n...
