Floodwaters engulf parts of the R.M. Clayton Sewage Treatment Plant in Atlanta, Georgia, in this aerial view taken September 23, 2009. Constant rains for nearly a week have saturated the metro Atlanta area, bringing Chattahoochee River basin flood waters to residents' doors and closing businesses. Flooding in north Georgia that killed nine people caused $250 million worth of damage to property and tens of millions of dollars more damage to infrastructure, the state insurance commissioner said on Wednesday.
