2 drownings, multiple BUIs reported on Georgia’s waterways Memorial Day weekend
ATLANTA – Memorial Day weekend, the unofficial start of summer, was also a busy weekend on Georgia waterways.
The Georgia Department of Natural Resources Law Enforcement Division was busy patrolling the waterways. Authorities say law enforcement officers responded to two drownings.
More than two dozen were cited for boating under the influence, but no boating fatalities were reported. Three injuries were reported.
Here are some of the big incidents reported on Georgia’s waterways:
Boating incident on Lake Lanier
At approximately 2 p.m. on Monday, game wardens patrolling Lake Allatoona observed a female passenger on a personal watercraft bleeding from her head near Red Top Mountain State Park. The wardens followed the personal watercraft to the shore to provide assistance. The 18-year-old operator reported that he had jumped in the wake of a large vessel, overturned, and the PWC landed on top of him and his passenger. The female suffered a large cut to her head, while the operator injured his left leg and left arm. The female was transported by family members to a local hospital for treatment. The operator refused treatment at the scene.
Boating Incident on Lake Lanier
On Sunday evening, at approximately 6 p.m., game wardens were notified of a vessel incident on Lake Lanier at Lanier Park in Gwinnett County. The incident involved a collision between two personal watercrafts. One of the operators suffered minor abrasions to his leg and refused medical treatment at the scene.
Drowning in Muscogee County
In the early afternoon hours on Monday, game wardens got information about a body in a private pond in Muscogee County. The victim, found wearing a swimsuit in a wooded area pond, was pronounced deceased by the Muscogee County Coroner around 3:10 p.m. Although reported as a drowning, it is possible that the victim had been in the pond for 2-3 days. The body will be sent to the crime lab to determine the time and cause of death.
Drowning at Neptune Beach
Late afternoon on May 26th, game wardens were advised by GSP Brunswick of a potential drowning at Neptune Beach, St. Simons Island. Glynn County Fire/Rescue recovered a 33-year-old male from the waterline. Despite nearly an hour of CPR by Fire/Rescue, the subject could not be revived and was transported to Southeast Georgia Health System Brunswick. The body was sent to the crime lab to rule out any medical issues.

ALBANY, Ga. (WALB) – A large Heat Dome will dominate the weather pattern for South Georgia this week. A Heat Dome is directly related to a large ridge, or a northward bulge, in the jet stream. Underneath this upper-level ridge, air sinks and warms as it drops to the surface.
This creates a sprawling surface high pressure, underneath the ridge, as hot air is continually reinforced at the surface. This will drive temperatures into the mid 90s through the rest of this week with lots of sunshine and slim chances for rainfall.

First Alert Forecast: Heat advisory issued for parts of east Georgia amidst building heat wave
ATLANTA, Ga. (Atlanta News First) — Heat will be the main story over the next week with highs in the 90s every day.
TODAY: MID-90S WITH HEAT INDEX NEAR 105
Heat advisory for Jasper, Putnam, Greene, and Morgan counties from Noon – 8 p.m.
High temperatures will reach the mid-90s across most of the area, with the combination of heat and humidity creating heat index values near 105 in east-central Georgia counties under the advisory. Those in the advisory area should limit outdoor activities, drink plenty of fluids, and take frequent breaks in air-conditioning or shade.
REST OF THE WEEK: PERSISTENT HEAT
Hot temperatures will persist through Saturday, with highs in the mid to upper 90s and heat index values remaining above 100 degrees most afternoons. Overnight lows in the mid to upper 70s will provide little relief.
Chance for Afternoon Storms
While the heat will dominate the forecast, there is a chance for afternoon and evening showers and thunderstorms each day, with the best opportunity Monday through Wednesday. Any storms that develop could produce frequent lightning, heavy rain, and gusty winds. These storms may provide brief relief from the heat, but most of the week will remain hot and humid.
Heat Safety Reminder
Extended time in this heat can be dangerous. Stay hydrated, take breaks in air-conditioned spaces, and check on elderly neighbors and family members. Avoid strenuous outdoor activities during peak heating hours, typically between noon and 6 p.m.
