Update 2024-11-12: Valdosta sewage spills contained after flash flood 2024-11-11.

Here’s a list of the roads and streets we have heard were closed after the flash flood of Wednesday, November 6, 2024, with twelve inches of rain and neighborhoods flooded.

So far as we know, only the locations highlighted in yellow are still closed.

This was all apparently a long-distance effect of Hurricane Rafael in the Gulf. Only Valdosta got this foot-deep rain; nowhere else in the Suwannee River Basin.

Valdosta City Schools and Scintilla Charter Academy closed on Thursday, but so far as we know will be open tomorrow. Lowndes County Schools stayed open.

Lanier County got more than 6 inches of rain, but we have not heard of any roads closed or other closures in Lakeland or Lanier County.

We may do a map later, also including sewage spill sites and flooded neighborhoods.

If you do see or smell a spill, or a flooded road or other concern, please send it to us and report it on Valdosta Click-n-Fix.

The Walking Withlacoochee River Chainsaw Cleanup scheduled for Saturday, November 16, may turn into a boating chainsaw cleanup. Or may have to cancel due to sewage, but by then probably any of that will have washed downstream.
