On July 3, 1994, Tropical Storm Alberto unleashed unprecedented rainfall across Georgia, recording 21 inches in just 24 hours in Americus, Georgia. By July 6, 1994, the Georgia Army National Guard opened six armories as shelters for flood victims. By the end of July, over 3,600 Guardsmen from across the state joined forces for Operation Crested River. Their mission: to help Georgians in need. Retired U.S. Army Sgt. 1st Class Wilbur B. Carver recalls his experience assisting the Georgia National Guard with recovery efforts in the first part of this series.
