At least 5 die as rain floods Southeast

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. - Floodwaters that swept across the rain-soaked Southeast killed at least five people, among them a toddler, and left five others missing Monday.

A 2-year-old boy was found Monday afternoon downstream of his family's mobile home, which was split apart by a swollen creek. The parents had been rescued as their 1-year-old son clung to his mother's arms.

Three Georgia motorists died when their vehicles were swept off Atlanta-area roads, and some major highways were submerged. Officials urged motorists to stay off the roads as a new line of storms threatened the area.
