Severe Thunderstorm Warnings were issued across north Georgia Friday afternoon. WSB-TV said the area was experiencing heavy rain.
"There's really no place for that water to go, so it's really causing an issue," WSB-TV Chief Meteorologist Glenn Burns said.
The water has receded a bit, but heavy delays still remain in the area.
The Connector isn't the only place dealing with flooding. The Atlanta Fire Department warned of flooding north of Atlanta.
On North Avenue, a water rescue is underway at Central Park Place. Crews say a person is stuck inside their vehicle after getting caught in flooded water.
