Rain Chances Remain High For The Weekend

July 15, 2011

The North Escambia area received some much needed rain Thursday afternoon and evening, with some areas receiving well over an inch.

In many parts of the area, heavy downpours led to something North Escambia has not seen in many months — standing water. Pictured above: A vehicle travels through water across West Highway 4 in Century Thursday afternoon.
