My dad was part of this effort. Watching him load up all his DNR gear and drive off with his john boat in the middle of all the flooding is something I'll never forget. Its a big reason I joined the GSDF to do my part. Big thank you to all the State LEOs that work so hard every day across this state. Y'all step up every time needed no matter the cost.

I was born on July 8th, 1994 in Albany, Ga. I’ve always been referred to as a “flood baby”. I always read or seen pictures of the flood, but never video like this. Incredible.
The 30th Anniversary has brought me here to see in full detail of what has happened not just in Albany, Georgia but to our surrounding Counties (Americus, Newton, Lee, Camilla, etc.). This Flood of '94 has impacted Albany to the fullest. A loss of manufacturing, schools, retail, neighborhoods, and the people has today (July 6, 2024) put Albany on the poverty list. I'm most upset with Albany's City/County Leaders for NOT putting the Federal Government Grants that were distributed out to help our City/Community. The Southside, South Central, and partial of the Eastside in town has went extremely lacking in redevelopment/rebuilding. The Airport area alone should have been redeveloped with at least two hotels and extended the Liberty Expressway to connect (exit) there onward to met up with the Dawson Road/Lee County roadway going west of 520/82 west towards Columbus, Georgia. Anyway, its been 30 years today from the devastating time in Albany, Georgia and it were a good thing that it took place during our very HOT summers here ... The Flood of '94, Albany, Georgia ... NEVER FORGET indeed! My sincerest thanks and gratitude to the DHR, Emergency Management, Red Cross, Federal/State Government, and all and any other help assistance that were available during those horrific times ... I, THANK YOU all again - GOD BLESS!!! 🌟💯🙏🏿😔🙂
Wow, I don't even know how I got here but yes I remember this disaster all too well. I will never forget this experience! And at the same how crazy it is that I end up here discovering this video on the 30th anniversary month, as well as discovering that I'm in this video at 15:20..The little 13 year old boy getting water from the red cross station that was on Mercer university shoppes plaza where T.J. Max used to be..SMGDH..Me and my dad were there back and forth getting truck loads of water for our family members and neighbors. I didn't have the slightest clue I had been caught on film. This is strange, humbling, and kinda cool all at the same time..
I remember being in a shelter with my mom's when our house got flooded in Albany. We lived right by the boys and girls club. I was 7

I live in Sumter County. We had 15 deaths in the flood of 94. We had it far worse than Albany based on deaths and community size.
