MACON, Ga. — Central Georgia’s roads look wet, nasty, and potentially hazardous Wednesday afternoon. If you’ve been on the road, you’ve probably seen puddles and standing water everywhere.
There’s flash flooding all over, like on Wesleyan Drive and Rivoli Drive in north Macon.
Naturally, that all made for slick roads, backups, and a few fender-benders.
Deana Thaxton commutes from Warner Robins to Macon every day and says this morning’s trip was horrific.
“It's just so terrible. It's treacherous. I mean you know you have to leave work for early and then you're worried about all the other drivers. I'm worried about my 16-year-old mainly because she's just now starting out driving, but yeah, it was crazy this morning coming into work,” said Thaxton.
The rain is causing the Ocmulgee River level to rise, and has forced parts of Amerson River Park to close.
In a tweet, Macon-Bibb County says they closed the back dirt trail around the pond, the put-in at the North End, and the take out at the South End.
They say the landing at Spring Street will likely be closed by the end of Wednesday.
