1. Dallas is expecting heavy rainfall heading into the New Year. Georgia is expected to get up to seven inches of rain. There will also be localized flooding in some areas. With the busiest airport in the world located in our area – Hartsfield-Jackson – further travel delays are expected, adding onto the chaos already plaguing the airline industry. Officials are advising people to remain indoors and avoid traveling as much as possible. (ShowClix)
