Torrential downpours overnight in metropolitan Atlanta, Georgia, led to floods that killed two people, a spokeswoman for the Georgia Emergency Management Agency said Monday.

Another person was reported missing, said Dena Brummer.

“Conditions are dangerous,” she said about the waters, which have left most of metro Atlanta subject to flash floods. “We are encouraging people to stay at home and to stay off the roads if they can.”

Brummer said “numerous search and rescue efforts” have been carried out in Carroll, Douglas and Paulding counties along the Interstate 20 corridor west of Atlanta.
