One resident said that the last time it was this bad was Hurricane Sally.
The calls for help started coming on around 12:47am as the creek behind the complex became overwhelmed with the torrential downpours.
The Escambia County Sheriff’s Office brought in two of their elevated water rescue trucks bussing people to the front of the complex. FOX10 saw families, with children and infants carrying suitcases and trash bags with their belongings. First responders tell us it’s been an extremely busy night.
