Serous Flooding in + Around Montgomery

When big, mean thunderstorms decide to stop for a rest, it always spells trouble.

That is what happened this morning across several counties around the Montgomery area.

Serious flash-flooding was occurring in Downtown Montgomery and the state capitol was closed.

Not just downtown Montgomery. Jason Simpson received a report that 7.10 inches has already been measured at a location in East Montgomery.

Another report via the EMA and NWS is that US 231 North of Montgomery at Wetumpka that a mudslide has closed the north bound lane at the rest area.

These are the same thunderstorms that took almost all night to take their time slowly migrating from North Alabama to the Montgomery area where they are now taking a long pause. Maxwell Air Force Base got 1.51 additional rain just between 9 am and 10 am.

NWS maintains a Flash Flood Warning until at least 1:30 for parts of these counties:

Montgomery
Barbour
Bullock
Macon
Pike
Russell
