(AP) -- North Georgia is drying out in the wake of a heavy storm front, though flood warnings remain in effect in many areas. 

Storms rumbled across north Georgia Sunday, spawning a daylong tornado watch, flood warnings and high-wind advisories. Flood warnings were still in effect Monday morning in many places. 

The Federal Aviation Administration said the nasty weather snarled air traffic at Atlanta's airport Sunday, with some arriving flights delayed nearly five hours. But the FAA's Web site said flights were departing pretty much on schedule by Monday morning. 

Firefighters in Peachtree City had to use boats Sunday evening to evacuate a number of residents from a condo complex after heavy rain caused flooding, with waters rising to several feet in the deepest places.
