The Gwinnett Daily Post newspaper of Lawrenceville reported that significant flooding occurred to two offices, one housing the Gwinnett Daily Post Winder bureau and the other an Automation Packaging plant. The Gwinnett Daily Post suffered the most damage with standing water up to one foot deep in part of the building. A concrete slab, five inches thick, was floating in the water and 2,300 sections of paper and advertisements were soaked. Mud and other debris was also reported in the two buildings. The water was the result of runoff from a neighboring construction site and overnight heavy rain, associated with the remnants of Tropical Storm Isidore.
