Heavy rains last week brought the Coosa River higher than normal, but no damage resulted from the rising water.

A flood warning was in effect most of the weekend due to heavy rains expected across the area. By 6 a.m. Friday, the river had reached 469.4 feet below Logan-Martin Dam, which surpassed the flood level by 2.4 feet.

While the technical flood stage was met, St. Clair County Emergency Management Agency director Ellen Haynes said there was no damage reported as a result of flooding.

“It was just high levels into the flood easement. There were no major structural damage to any permanent homes. It can bring up trash and that can be kind of inconvenient, but the only people that were really effected were people who camp out along the lake,” she explained.

The biggest toll, she said, was on RVers who may have been parked in the flood plain who would have had to move.

On Wednesday, Haynes said the river is at 463.55 feet, which is once again below the river’s flood easement levels.
