Late Monday, Atlanta-based Home Depot reported customers were buying up bottled water, bleach and other cleaning supplies and sandbags. In some limited cases, customers were buying electric generators, said Craig Fishel, a Home Depot spokesman.
Home Depot stores in Powder Springs and Douglasville reported heavily volumes of traffic but "as the afternoon has gone on, we've seen customers all over metro Atlanta," he said.
In the past, Home Depot has had some of its stores remain open 24 hours following natural disasters such as last year's Hurricane Gustav that hit the Gulf Coast. Fishel said the company will monitor the flooding for the next few days before making a determination.
