Hurricane Flossy Sweeps Georgia Drenching Rainfall
Hurricane Flossy weakened to a broad rainstorm over south Georgia and northern Florida, killing nine across its Gulf path. By early today its center lay near Albany, Georgia with winds of 30 mph.

Coast Guard reported the motor vessel Carnert missing since Sunday near Grand Isle, but all 15 aboard were safe. Offshore platforms and tenders remained intact despite the storm, though two $1.5 million drill tenders from the CRTC group broke free and drifted southward before being located.
