Torrential rains from Hurricane Danny started falling in Baldwin county Saturday evening and the Fish river came out of its banks and remained out of its banks for several days. People living along the river were forced to evacuate and numerous homes sustained major water damage. Most of the roads in the south part of the county, generally south of U. S. Highway 98, had to be closed due to high water. Many of the roads in this area were closed into Monday evening to allow the water to recede. Some roads had to be closed for several weeks before crews had time to get them in a condition to allow traffic on them again. The heaviest rainfall in this area was estimated to be 30 to 35 inches with some estimations of even higher amounts near Weeks Bay.
