The ABC 33/40 WeatherNet site in downtown Gadsden reports 2.33 inches of rain in this afternoon's storm. We have another report of 2.41 inches across the street from Top Of the River Restaurant near Gadsden Mall.

NWS posted a Flash Flood Warning for Etowah County until 6:30.

NWS also reported some stalled cars in the area and a viaduct near Attalla flooded and impassable.

Lots of lightning in all of this.

At 5:45, the heaviest rain was shifting east of downtown Gadsden into East Etowah County and South DeKalb County.

This is in cherokee county about 5 miles from the georgia line off HW 411.
