From Associated Press:
ATLANTA — A storm crashed through the Southeast and brought up to an inch of rain in parts of drought-stricken Georgia, but forecasters said the storm likely did little to ease the state's historic drought.
"The ground probably sucked it all up," said Vaughn Smith, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Peachtree City. "The ground is so dry, I seriously doubt if any of the lakes rose any."
The Wednesday storm packed lashing rain and powerful gusts, injuring at least nine in Tennessee.
The roof of a Baptist church in Tennessee's Marion County was heavily damaged, said Jeremy Heidt of the Tennessee Emergency Management Agency. Three children were hurt by flying glass and were taken to hospitals, said Heidt.

TheBigRuski, good stuff.
What cracks me up about all this: the protestors go under the name of "FREETHOUGHT" (caps) Society, according to your earlier stories.
Does anyone else see the irony in that?
Some people exercised freedom of speech on both sides. Some others exercised their freedom of religion, and that riled up some other folks, who then exercised their freedom of non-religion, I guess.
