December 15, 2009
With a level five feet over flood stage, Big Escambia Creek flooded several parts of Flomaton Tuesday, bringing the town to a virtual standstill.
Emergency workers were forced to rescue about two dozen people — including nine in one family – from homes and vehicles. The main intersection of Highway 31 and Highway 29 was closed Tuesday morning. Rising flood waters flooded several homes in the area behind Hardee’s and across the street from Flomaton High School.
All traffic from Century into Flomaton was stopped. Coupled with the other flooded roads around the area, Flomaton was a near ghost town Tuesday morning.

I spent many summer nights sitting on the porch of the house pictured above. The worst I ever experienced was coming home (my Aunt’s house, actually) from the dog track in Pensacola, pulling into a flooded driveway and stepping into water that was up to the bottom of the car door. Never saw anything like this. My prayers are with all affected.
I saw Flomaton flooded like this one time in late 50’s or early 60’s and Brewton like this in late 60’s early 70’s. Ya’ll take care !
