The sun might be shining in Elmore County, but it doesn’t stop the effects of rain from the last few days.
The creeks and rivers have spilled from their normal banks as rain water from upstream makes its way to the Gulf. A swollen Coosa River can be seen from downtown Wetumpka and the Bibb Graves Bridge. The extra water forced Montgomery County to close Dozier Road Monday afternoon and until it reopens the toll bridge across the Tallapoosa River into east Montgomery is closed.
