Go to your breaker panel and cut power to any circuit in the affected area. Never wade through water near electrical outlets or panels.

Columbus sits on the Chattahoochee River along the Alabama border. The river is managed by multiple Army Corps of Engineers dams, but heavy rain events upstream in the Georgia Piedmont can cause rapid rises. The city experiences significant thunderstorm activity (70+ days/year) and was the site of catastrophic flooding from 2009's Flood of Record. High humidity (average 73% RH) means any moisture intrusion quickly accelerates toward mold. Fort Benning (now Fort Moore) drives significant rental housing demand, creating maintenance deferred properties throughout the city.
