Quarter Size Hail, Power Outages And Flooding Reported Across Area
January 21, 2010
Hail, flooding and a few power outages were reported as strong storms moved across the North Escambia area Wednesday night and into early Thursday morning.
NorthEscambia.com readers reported dime to quarter size hail. Most of the reports we received were in a line from Bay Springs and Enon to Walnut Hill, Bratt and near Bogia during the 10:05 to 10:20 p.m. time period. A severe thunderstorm warning was in effect for North Escambia at the time the hail was reported, but the warning has since expired.
Some flooding was reported, including problems just after midnight at the intersection of Highway 29 and Highway 97 in Molino. Flooding was also reported to be a problem in Atmore.
Scattered power outages were also reported across the area.

Not only did some loose power. Lots are people are without land line phones in the Bratt area. hope Frontier will repair tomorrow. A lot of older people do not have cell phones.
I was on my way home to Century from Pensacola last night and was at Pine Barren at around 10:30pm. The rain was so hard i could barely see the road. The lines and reflectors on parts of 29 are so bad that they were of no help at all and that was while driving under 25mph.
This is the hardest it’s rained since last March,it flooded the road last time. Boy I sure hope I don’t have to stay home from work…hmmmm. I bet the deer hunting Will be pretty good later this morning!
Are the Escambia county Flordia schools open today? What about Atmore with all the flooding?
I live close to this intersection and its under water! The ditches are full and some water is covering the road also on 97 not just the intersection! Yall please be safe and if it keeps on this hard and long, I dont know how the bus’s will run in the morning. I saw 29 and 97 closed about 3 months ago from flooding and the cop directing traffic said the water was almost waist deep! Please be careful and stay off the roads………
