    I’m with the National Weather Service in Mobile. I’m trying to collect some information concerning the latest flooding in Escambia County. If anyone experienced flooding due to the Escambia River overtoping it’s banks, please send me an e-mail at:

    Thank you

    Here we go again. Pineville Rd. is washed out between Foster and Dagen Rds. Other bad washes between there and Arthur Brown.

    Anyone happen to notice that the picture above is of a paved road? The county needs to do something about the driveway that causes all of the erosion to wash into the road.

    William, can you please comment on 97 and 29? the FHP still has it on the list as closed and under water.

    Thank you!!

    The water was flowing so deep and fast in our back pasture, it actually washed away a round bale. Clean sweep. No clue where it went!

    William , you can add Occie Phillips rd to the list. The water is eighth of mile over the road and rising. Also Occie phillips rd on the east side that meets Hwy 97a is washed out in one or two places and almost where you can’t get thru.
