Storm Moves Into Georgia

Associated Press

The rainy remains of Tropical Storm Jerry chugged north Friday into Georgia, leaving behind streams for streets in Florida and residents fearing that storms behind it could flood them again.

Meteorologists said the skies in Jerry’s wake should clear, at least for the weekend, offering some respite to Naples, which was inundated with 16 inches of rain, and the Gulf Coast island of Sanibel, which received 15.

“People were having fun riding Jet Skis on Periwinkle Way,” the resort island’s main thoroughfare, said Chip Hoffman, a concessionaire. “The kids love it. They play in the puddles. Their biggest concern is to watch out for alligators.”
