Flooding Affects Magazine Delivery in Atlanta
Following is the unedited text of Worldcolor Logistics News Flash Issue #257
Torrential downpours have flooded the Atlanta, GA area forcing many local highways, roads and bridges to close, slowing the delivery of mail, newsstand and newspapers to the effected areas. Although the rain has diminished for the time being, there are additional storms heading toward the area threatening to worsen the current conditions, especially for the northern and northwestern suburbs of Atlanta. The National Weather Service has extended the flood watch until 8pm this evening, but further delays can be expected if the advancing storms contribute to the nearly 24 inches of rain that many areas received throughout Monday.

Major Interstate Closures:
I-20 closed in both directions between Fulton Industrial Boulevard in south Fulton County and Fairburn Road in Douglas County.
