What the National Weather Service wrote

Although heavy rain tapered off across Franklin County throughout the afternoon, runoff from the day's excessive rainfall resulted in high water conditions persisting well into the evening hours.

The wider storm

Unusually high levels of moisture for early February combined with a slow-moving frontal system to produce an extended period of moderate to heavy rainfall across northeast Georgia from the morning of the 5th until the early morning hours of the 7th. Intense rain rates associated with bands of heavy rain showers and embedded thunderstorms developing along the front during the morning and afternoon of the 7th resulted in flash flooding. Total rainfall of 3 to 6 inches occurred across the area.

Began near Parhams (34.4450, -83.2150).
