Residents in Moulton are speaking out after major flooding over the weekend

MOULTON, Ala. (WHNT) — People in Moulton are speaking out after rain this weekend left their homes and property under water.

“I woke up, and I didn’t really know it was raining, and then I came outside and saw that ‘SJ’ was swimming over here in the front yard,” said Brody Rains. “That guy’s front yard was completely underwater…. like his car, his house, everything was underwater.”

Avery Miller and Brody Rains have lived in the area for years and say they have never seen flooding like they did this weekend.

“All of my son’s toys, like the scooters, all of his routing toys were like, about 5 or 6 houses down,” said Avery Miller.

Their neighbor, Alyssa Richards, woke up for work Saturday to find her home flooded.

“It was just standing water all in the bottom of our house,” she said.

Although, their street wasn’t the only one affected. Kevin Cooper shared what he experienced ten minutes down the road.

“So, right past the pond here, I actually was knee deep in water, and it was starting to get up into our yard, and it was pulling up in the front yard here and in the backyard closer to our property as well,” said Cooper.

Despite having dry days since, water still stands in parts of the city.

The storms were two days ago, but you can see still see tons of standing water. Parts of County Road 213 are still blocked off.

No matter where they’re located, all four residents are asking for the same thing.

“In the three years that I’ve lived here and in the 20 years that my in-laws have lived here, they think they’ve seen the yard or the ditches be scraped maybe once or twice.”

They are pleading for better upkeep of the drains to help the severity of the problem in the future.

Although, Moulton City Mayor, Roger Weatherwax, tells News 19 that he is working with core engineers and the City of Moulton is on their agenda for 2025 to fix some of the issues.
