Heavy rains caused some big problems in Baldwin County. In Loxley, ditches filled up quickly with storm water and area creeks became raging whitewater rapids! Many roads were underwater. Several homes in the area nearly flooded leaving rising water just feet from neighbors' doorsteps. And just west of Loxley, a section of Highway 90 was shut down for several hours this morning. A drain pipe broke sending water across the highway and washing out part of the asphault.
The situation was not that much different in Daphne. The Lake Forest community got their fair share of the rain too. Several area creeks spilled their banks and caused some problems there as well. At least four homes were flooded.
An elderly couple had to be evacuated and moved out by the fire department because of the rapidly rising water. The flooding was such a spectacle that many people took pictures and many said they have never seen flooding like this before.
