The recent storm and torrential downpour have caused severe erosion and flooding throughout the neighborhood, resulting in significant damage and making the area extremely hazardous. As shown in the photos below, entire streets and properties are submerged under several feet of water. Some homes, including several still under construction, have been entirely engulfed by floodwaters and severely impacted by erosion. This devastating flooding has made the neighborhood increasingly dangerous, particularly during heavy rainstorms.
The ongoing flooding is not just an inconvenience—it poses a serious threat to both the safety of residents and the structural integrity of homes. Many properties that were once safe and secure are now at risk of long-term damage, as the soil surrounding them continues to erode, undermining foundations and making the homes unstable.
In response to these ongoing issues, several residents have reached out to both the Mobile City Council and local media outlets, including Channel 15 News, in an attempt to bring attention to the flooding problem and seek relief. Despite these efforts, the issue persists, leaving homeowners feeling frustrated and helpless. They are increasingly concerned that without a more substantial intervention, the damage will only worsen, and their community will continue to face significant risks with each new storm.
The situation underscores the urgent need for improved infrastructure, better drainage systems, and long-term planning to address the growing concerns of flooding and erosion. Until these issues are properly addressed, the safety and well-being of the neighborhood will remain in jeopardy, and residents will continue to deal with the consequences of a problem that seems to be getting worse with each storm.
