ATLANTA — What was once Hurricane Irma is now a depression and it is moving out of Georgia.

But it brought bands of heavy rain and wind to metro Atlanta on Monday.

Atlanta police said they started seeing flooding around Peachtree Creek and Nancy Creek as waters continue to rise with the constant rain from Irma.

Heavy Rain

Severe Weather Team 2 Chief Meteorologist Glenn Burns said the metro has seen about 1.5 inches of rain, with slightly higher amounts of about 2.2 inches south of Interstate 20.

Shortly after 4 p.m. Monday, a tree fell on a Sandy Springs home, killing a 55-year-old man inside.

As we move through the Tuesday, the rain will clear by the afternoon.

The powerful winds gusts caused debris to fall from a building in downtown Atlanta, shutting down streets near Woodruff Park.
