Escambia River Continues To Rise
February 27, 2013
The Escambia River near Century continues to rise, but the floodwaters are not expected to have any great impact.
Early Wednesday morning, the stage was 17.9 feet. Minor lowland flooding is occurring and is forecast to continue. The river will continue to rise to near 19.1 feet by early Thursday morning and will then begin to fall. Lowlands flooding the area will continue until the river level drops below 13 feet.
The flooding will not reach the Highway 4 bridge between Century and Jay, and floodwaters are not expected to reach any homes.

>>William, does anyone expect the river to rise over Railroad St and that bridge?
Don’t really know…the advisories/warnings for the Escambia River, on the Florida side. There are no advisories for the Big Escambia Creek in Flomaton…but I know some of those roads do flood around there, advisory or not.
William, does anyone expect the river to rise over Railroad St and that bridge? Yesterday morning I tried to go to work that way and part of the road on downtown Flomaton side of the bridge has water over the road. I just followed the age old advise, Don’t drown, turn around.
