  • From the Wetumpka Herald:
    The creeks and rivers have spilled from their normal banks as rainwater from upstream makes its way to the Gulf. A swollen Coosa River can be seen from downtown Wetumpka and the Bibb Graves Bridge. The extra water forced Montgomery County to close Dozier Road Monday afternoon and until it reopens the toll bridge across the Tallapoosa River into east Montgomery is closed.
    According to data from the NWS at 11 a.m. Wednesday, the Tallapoosa River at the water plant just east of U.S. Highway 231 is at 30.91 feet, above its flood stage of 25 feet. It was at 9 feet at 11 a.m. Sunday. The NWS is predicting the Tallapoosa River to go down.
    The highest water level was 42.13 feet on March 18, 1990. The most recent record crest of 33.59 feet was on March 29,2023.
    The Coosa River has covered the parking lot, boat ramp, and much of the sidewalk of Gold Star Park in downtown Wetumpka. Currently, the City of Wetumpka has areas of the park closed off.

    Thank you Jack. I didn't know it flooded more often than once there. A unique approach filming. Thanks again and God bless you.

      Yes, sir Kent, there are two rivers that converge near where I live and when we get an over abundant amount of rain of course it has to go somewhere so, consequently, it floods the lowlands around where I live. I live up on a hill, which is about 100 feet higher than the floodplain. Anyway I’m watching your muddy Road video on your E Trike. It sure looked like it was a mess! God bless, Kent.
