Evacuating for some reason would be a nightmare if they had to do it. How about a second road out of Pensacola? I have also wondered why no one has figured out that water runs downhill, bringing sand, etc., with it so you have this road flooded. Bigger storm drains and a place to empty them are needed.

Glad they did something that was needed. Lets hope it works. I drove by the area a few days after the flood and noticed a ton of trash hung up in the bushes and grass. I wondered to myself why no one ever fixed the problem when I drove by months ago. This is good news. Glad they did something that was needed. Lets hope it works.

Hwy.29 is to be a evacuation route it makes you want to laugh. We need more than one way in and out of town for people in Gonzalez, Cantonment and further north. while I'm at it how bout bringing in some business with jobs to the Industrial Park on Hwy. 29.

I was in both rain storms and the one this year wasn't nearly as heavy as the one last year. Can't say for sure but I suspect lack of routine maintenance due to budget cuts play a role in the water backing up this year. Trash cans are normally a good bit larger at the top than at the bottom and aren't good rain gauges. TH, this happen on June 10, 2013 two months ago, not last year.

The little trash can I put out in the rain on purpose collected 12 or so inches of rain in that less than 24 hour period. I don’t know where they got their information on rainfall.
