Floods Damage & Destroy Thousands of Homes in Georgia, Lumber and Building Materials Needed For Rebuilding

As a result of flooding from torrential rains, thousands of homes and businesses in Georgia, hundreds in Atlanta alone, suffered some level of damage or were destroyed. 114 homes in the city of Atlanta alone were destroyed by the floods, with many more damaged or destroyed in suburban and rural areas. More homes were destroyed than have been built this year. Athens had more flooding rains over the weekend.
There are fewer new homes for sale than there have been since march of 1983, and there are far fewer existing homes for sale in Atlanta than there has been in several years. As homes are rebuilt and repaired, there will be a greater demand for lumber and building materials. If we use more green home building products for new construction, repair and home improvement, we will make the world we live in a better place.
