1 / 25
Residents of Sweetwater Valley Condominiums Cherise Banner, 20, left, and her mother Jennipher Ward, right, separate wet family photographs on a blanket to dry as they recover from the flood Thursday morning in Austell. Flood water came into every unit in the complex filling the first floor a little above waist level (around 40 inches). Ward has hundreds of family photographs that she keeps for the family dating back to the 1930s.
