Also, seeing reports that there are scattered flooding issues in Tuscaloosa.
Valley Creek is over the banks along John Road in Bessemer.
Also seeing reports of flooding on Allison-Bonnett going north towards Fairfield with possible vehicles stranded.
Folks, this is serious business and it is only going to get worse out there. Please use your head and do not cross roadways covered in water. You could put your life, along with any passengers, and rescue workers that may have to come and attempt to pull you from the floodwaters. You think you may can see the roadway, or think that it is ok, but what you can’t see is what may put you in danger. Turn around, don’t drown.
