洪水から4日が過ぎても、マッケイズビルでは市の水道水をトイレを流す用途に限っていた。コッパーヒルの別系統の水道は、住宅や事業所が長い清掃作業に直面するなか、検査結果による解除を待っていた。
マッケイズビル・チャーチ・オブ・ゴッドは金曜日以降、ボトル入り飲料水を約24パレット配布していた。11月9日月曜日の時点でも、教会自体と近隣の多くの住宅には水道水が出ていなかったと、マイク・コール牧師はFOX 5 Atlantaに語った。洪水から暦日で4日が過ぎても、水道が使える人々でさえ厳しい制限に直面していた。市の水道水は、トイレを流す必要がある場合に限って使うよう求められていた。126
州境を越えたテネシー州コッパーヒルでは、浸水区域外の住宅地で給水が再開していたが、検体の検査中は煮沸勧告が続いていた。当局は11月9日に解除を期待していたが、発表では結果は示されなかった。配管に水が戻ったのは前進だった。しかし、まだ普段の生活に戻ってよいという許可ではなかった。137
11月5日、HeyDay Newsはジョージア州マッケイズビルとテネシー州コッパーヒルで、記録的な洪水、取り残された住民、続く救助活動を報じた。差し迫った危険は、川の水が建物に流れ込むことだった。今や復旧を脅かす危機は建物の中にある。使える水がない世帯、内装を取り払われるレストラン、そして損失の全容を把握するにはまだ不十分な被害評価だ。
同じ川、異なる給水指示
この地域を流れる川は、ジョージア州ではトッコア川、テネシー州ではオコイー川と呼ばれる。しかし、両町の水道システムは別々に運営されている。復旧に関する指示を、単一の煮沸勧告としてまとめてはならない。
トイレを流す必要がある場合を除き、水は絶対に使わないでください。
これは、水を煮沸するよう求めるだけの助言よりも厳しい。水圧が戻っても、浄水処理が復旧したこと、すべての利用者に水が届いていること、入浴や清掃に水を使えることの証明にはならない。ジョージア州の11月8日付復旧速報には、被災した浄水施設が全面稼働する見込み時期は記載されていなかった。147
コッパーヒルの発表は日曜日の夜に出され、11月9日にChattanooga Times Free Pressが報じた。内容はより限定的で、浸水被害のなかった住宅地では給水が再開したものの、煮沸勧告は続いていた。再接続が必要な住宅や事業所には、市庁舎(423-496-5141)に電話し、給水再開時に誰かが立ち会えるようにするよう伝えられていた。137
営業再開を支える作業
ジョージア州の11月8日付速報によると、評価担当者12人が2人一組の6チームで活動し、11月6日には74件の評価が完了したが、評価を待つ大きな区域がなお残っていた。これは作業件数であり、74軒の家屋が全壊したという意味ではない。被害の全容を示す一覧と最終的な金額の推計は、まだ出ていなかった。州は、ボート、航空機、飲料水、清掃機材など、32件の資源要請に対応していた。147
州境の両側で、連邦支援の要請を裏付けるため被害が記録されていた。コッパーヒルでは地方・州の評価が続き、ファニン郡のチームは一軒ずつ訪問していた。記録は州知事による大統領の災害宣言要請を裏付けることができるが、承認を保証するものではない。連邦支援の時期は定まっていなかった。住民には、清掃や修理の前に安全を確保したうえで被害を撮影し、領収書を保管し、記録や検査に備えて被災物品を残すよう促されていた。直ちに必要な避難先、食料、物資については、赤十字(1-800-733-2767)に連絡できる。121
洪水被害の集計にまだ欠けているもの
記録的な最高水位の正確な値も、具体的な理由から確定していない。コッパーヒルの水位計がピークを捉え損ねたためだ。11月5日付の米地質調査所(USGS)の通知によると、現地チームは計器を修理し、流量を測定し、最高水位の痕跡を記録したが、記録上のピークを確認するにはさらなる測量と分析が必要だった。70
降雨量の数値も、どの地域を指すかに注意が必要だ。WZTVが掲載した後日のAssociated Press報道は、気象当局の発表として、周辺の山地の流域で6時間に10.28インチ、12時間に11.19インチの雨が降ったと伝えた。これはすべての地域で測定された数値ではない。また「1,000年に1度」という説明は、特定の場所で年間発生確率が0.1%であることを意味し、災害が1,000年間隔で起きるという意味ではない。2

放送時の内容
- McCaysville limits returning tap water to essential toilet flushing. Four days after the flood, some homes still have no water, while neighboring Copperhill awaits water-test clearance.
- On November 5, we reported record flooding, trapped residents and rescues in both towns. When can people safely use the water returning to their pipes?
- The same river flooded both communities. It's called the Toccoa in Georgia and the Ocoee in Tennessee. But the towns operate separate water systems, and their recovery instructions differ.
- McCaysville's treatment plant and municipal supply shut down during the flood. Water began returning by November 8, sometimes brown, cloudy or milky. The supply remained extremely limited, and the following day's instructions still allowed only necessary toilet flushing.
- Police Chief Michael Otis Earley barred drinking, cooking, bathing and dishwashing with city water. His instructions also barred cleaning homes, businesses or vehicles. Residents must conserve what's available and use it only when absolutely necessary to flush toilets.
- The November 8 recovery update gave no estimated date for the treatment facility to become fully operational. Pastor Mike Cole said McCaysville Church of God and many homes still had no water on November 9.
- Copperhill restored service to residential areas outside the flooded zone. City officials said its boil-water advisory remained while samples underwent testing. They hoped for clearance November 9, but hadn't announced a result in that update.
- Copperhill told customers needing reconnection to contact City Hall and have someone present when service returns. Its recovery arrangements included drinking water at City Hall and Luttrell's Hardware. Separately supplied water for other uses required residents to bring containers.
- McCaysville expanded bottled-water access beyond its residents and water customers to anyone in need. Copperhill also listed water for other uses outside City Hall and on Central and West Tennessee avenues. These were the November 8–9 arrangements.
- McCaysville Church of God had distributed nearly two dozen pallets of bottled water since Friday. Church members handed out 700 barbecue sandwiches on Sunday. The Red Cross sent a disaster-relief van, Salvation Army workers prepared meals, and the city distributed bottled water.
- An emergency shelter opened at the Fannin County Recreation Multi-Purpose Center in Blue Ridge. Recovery teams were working to secure additional shower and laundry trailers. Without usable running water, even washing clothes becomes another recovery problem.
- Convoy of Hope dispatched ready-to-eat meals, drinking water, hygiene kits and cleanup supplies from Springfield, Missouri. Regional staging helped shorten delivery from more than a day to a couple of hours. Immediate shelter, food and supply needs could also go through the Red Cross.
- Workers were stripping Twisted Tomato Pizza to its studs on November 9. Employees, volunteers and crews removed mud-covered drywall, insulation, countertops and plumbing from the restaurant near the river. County officials described more than 42 damaged businesses across North Georgia.
- That regional business count reaches beyond these two downtowns. Copperhill General Store said nearly all its stock was covered in mud. Elsewhere, floodwater shattered storefront facades, swept away belongings and ruined vehicles and motorcycles in garages.
- Copperhill Mayor Greg Barker estimated three to five feet of water and mud inside downtown businesses. Resident Ashley Johnson estimated at least four feet inside her family's home. They escaped by rescue boat. The chamber welcome center had about three feet.
- Some inundated areas had more than six feet of water. Those depths varied from building to building. McCaysville has about 1,000 residents and Copperhill fewer than 500. Their railroad visitors support riverfront shops and restaurants, so shuttered storefronts also interrupt local livelihoods.
- The towns were already recovering from an early August flood. McCaysville's police department had only recently returned to its renovated building. Earley said the new flooding left the department having “lost virtually everything.” Police moved into a command bus behind City Hall.
- McCaysville's detailed access rules dated November 6 closed downtown to the general public. Authorized residents, business owners and emergency personnel could enter. A six p.m. to six a.m. curfew covered the restricted downtown area, including residential properties. Routine City Hall business and ordinary government operations were suspended.
- Copperhill lifted its evacuation order by the November 6 update and allowed residents back. McCaysville hadn't announced a later lifting of its detailed restrictions in these updates. Several important roads were still listed closed November 7.
- Those included Toccoa Avenue, Highway 68 through Copperhill and Blue Ridge Drive at East and West Tennessee streets. Earlier closures included Bridge Street, July Lane Bridge, Watkins Road and part of Bullen Gap Road. Highway 64 west of mile marker 14.5 had one lane open. Those dated lists can't serve as current directions.
- Copperhill's post office moved operations to Ducktown. McCaysville's post office had moved back after the August flood only on November 2. The new disruption brought limited parcel pickup and post-office-box access, without window service.
- Georgia's later accounting raised Fannin County's rescue count from at least 57 to 100. Three more were recorded in Gilmer County, making 103 across those two counties. The Fannin figure covers the whole county.
- Tennessee separately reported coordinating 68 swift-water rescues. Agencies haven't reconciled how their figures overlap, so there's no reliable final two-state total. An intervening Fannin count of 97 was overtaken by the state update. Other larger headlines don't resolve the jurisdictional differences.
- A man who said his car had been swept down a creek lost contact with responders. His outcome hasn't been announced. Another operation sent firefighters toward eleven people and two dogs, but its location and completed outcome remain unclear.
- The wider storm killed Julie Barrs, 56, in Murray County. Sheriff Jimmy Davenport said she apparently tried to drive through floodwater. That death occurred outside these towns. Initial McCaysville accounts described a firefighter's minor injury and residents treated for suspected hypothermia and shock, with some hospital visits.
- The Copperhill river gauge missed the peak. A field team repaired it, measured river flow and documented high-water marks. Surveying and analysis were still needed to confirm the highest level, leaving the exact record crest unsettled.
- The river's reported crest ranges from 18 feet to 18.75 feet, with 18.05 feet also cited. Previous-record figures differ too, from 17.71 to a rounded 17.8 feet. Those conflicting decimals can't supply the maximum the instrument missed.
- The river rose a reported sixteen feet in twelve hours, with its sharpest surge over three hours. Downtown roads and intersections flooded hundreds of yards beyond the banks. The missing peak measurement doesn't diminish the inundation people experienced.
- The November 5 emergency warning described homes and businesses under several feet of water. Its eleven a.m. expiration belonged to that day's emergency. By afternoon, waters were receding, but the recovery problems continued long after the river fell.
- The surrounding mountain watershed received 10.28 inches in six hours and 11.19 inches in twelve hours. Other totals covered different places, including eight to ten inches between Blue Ridge and Ellijay. They weren't measurements of every neighborhood.
- Weather officials described the later rainfall as a one-in-one-thousand-year event, meaning a 0.1 percent annual chance at a particular place. Several can happen in one year. Earlier one-in-two-hundred-year descriptions covered different amounts and intervals. August's event had been characterized as one in five hundred years.
- TVA managed high water at three hydroelectric dams during the emergency. On November 5, it reported Ocoee Three spilling 150,000 gallons per second. That was a downstream operating observation during the flood.
- Georgia's emergency declaration covered Fannin, Gilmer, Murray and Union counties. The state operations center activated at Level Two, coordinating state agencies, local responders and help from Tennessee. The recovery bulletin recorded 32 fulfilled resource requests, including aircraft, boats, personnel, drinking water and cleanup equipment.
- Georgia deployed twelve assessors in six two-person teams. They completed 74 assessments on November 6, with significant areas still awaiting evaluation. Priorities included McCaysville, Fightingtown, Power Dam Road and Lick Skillet. The count measures completed assessments.
- Teams were evaluating homes, businesses and public infrastructure while crews cleared roads and waterways and addressed standing water in homes. A complete loss inventory and final dollar estimate were still pending. Both sides of the state line were documenting damage to support requests for federal assistance.
- Copperhill was seeking federal disaster assistance while Polk County remained in local and state assessments. Fannin teams were going door to door too. That documentation supports a governor's request for a presidential declaration, which still requires a federal decision.
- Residents were told to photograph damage before cleanup or repairs, save receipts and retain damaged items for documentation or inspection when safe. The Red Cross could address immediate needs while that process continued. Neither town had a timetable for federal assistance or a newly announced safe-water clearance.
- McCaysville's returning supply still carried flushing-only instructions in the November 9 update. Copperhill's restored service remained under its separate boil-water advisory pending testing. Households and businesses were continuing cleanup while waiting for permission to use their tap water safely.
- Flood debris creates opportunities for cuts, scrapes and puncture wounds. The Polk County Health Department announced free tetanus vaccinations for people affected in both towns. The November 10 clinic runs from eight-thirty a.m. to four p.m. at Copperhill City Hall, while supplies last.
