Two Flowery Branch business owners have filed suit seeking compensation from the Norfolk Southern Railway Co. for flooding damages that wreaked havoc on their property. On May 19, 2013, heavy rains flooded Flowery Branch Creek and rainwater backed up into the Wayne Center and lake behind the property, called Waynes’ Lake. In the complaint and demand for a jury trial filed May 8 in Hall County Superior Court, brothers Mike and Alan Wayne and Wayne Brothers Inc. alleged the railroad company, owned by co-defendant Norfolk Southern Corp., modified a culvert structure to their detriment.
