The remnants of Tropical Storm Ida moved out of Georgia this morning, but the effects on Troup County remained.

The storm dumped almost 6 inches of rain on LaGrange from about midnight Monday through midmorning today. The rain-slickened streets contributed to numerous traffic accidents, roads were closed, and limbs and trees fell across the county. No major injuries were reported.

The rain is expected to ease today, but winds of 15 to 30 mph with gusts of 35 to 40 mph can be expected through this evening. With wet ground conditions across the area, it will not take very strong winds for trees to begin to fall, said officials with the National Weather Service.

The Troup County Road Department closed small sections of Dallis Mill and Liberty Hill-Glenn roads because of flooding on bridges during Tuesday’s downpour.

Dallis Mill was closed between Frost School Road and the Meriwether County line about 3 p.m., and Liberty Hill-Glenn was closed about 10 p.m. Both are expected to reopen Thursday.

A tree fell across Garrett Road on Wednesday night, and trees fell on power lines in the 100 blocks of Judge Woodyard Road and Collier Street in Hogansville, causing interruptions in electrical service.

The weather was blamed for numerous traffic accidents Tuesday and this morning, but no serious injuries were reported.

“That’s common whenever we have rain. That’s the usual,” said LaGrange police Lt. Del Armstrong.

He said it’s usually a case of one car following another too closely.

Traffic lights went out on Lafayette Parkway because of the rain. Police said a woman was pulling out of Ragland Street when her car was hit by a pickup truck. The truck’s driver said the traffic light had been green when he went under it, but the woman said the lights weren’t working. No one was cited, and the woman was treated for minor injuries at the scene.

LaGrange utilities Director Patrick Bowie had few reports this morning of weather-related problems.

“It’s hard to work in,” he said. “It’s the winds that bother the power lines, not the rain.”

Heavy rain overnight caused several metro Atlanta area creeks to flood.

Rainfall totals through 4 a.m. today included 4.38 inches at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport. Atlanta’s official rainfall total for Tuesday of 4.05 inches set a record for the date, eclipsing the old mark of 2.57 inches set in 1966.

A flash flood watch for most of north and central Georgia was lifted this morning.

The forecast for Troup County calls for clearing skies with highs rising from the lower 60s today to the lower 70s Friday. Lows are expected to be in the lower 40s.
