Pirates Cove

We're getting a much needed break from the rain, but some areas of Lowndes County are still underwater.

Our deandria turner checked in at pirate's cove, and tells us how people there are dealing with the deluge.

Nat sound for most people getting to town is as simple as hopping in the car.

But for parker earhart and his neighbors there are a few more obstacles.

"it's rough you know we don't have many ways to get out of here.

You can't get out of here with a car," instead they scramble through trees and limbs to make it to the bridge just to get to their trucks.

Earhart lives in the pirate's cove community that has been flooded since tuesday.

People here are relying on each other and their boats to get around.

"everybody helps everybody trying to get everybody out as much as possible trying to make sure they have everything they need," residents here say the water is coming from the tom bevill lock and dam drowning the area with 10-15 inches of water.

Earhart wants to see things change.

"i hope the lock masters figure this out.

They know when the rain is coming and they can open up their gates as fast as possible so this doesn't happen again,".

This time last last year pirates cove was dealing with the ásameá problems. that leaves longtime homeowners like will cooper with some questions.

"something has changed out here to make this flood.

People say it's mother nature but my only point is if you go back to 04 and look at the rainfalls that we had in the past.

We've had similar rains and not the same type of problem.

We're just all real confused."

Stand up: people in this area have told me that the water level has gone down six inches since last night but you can still see that this road is still full of water that actually looks like a river but residents are hopeful that they can drive out of here later tonight."

"clean up is gonna be a lot of work.

We just want the water to go down as soon as possible," in the meantime, the people in this neighborhood are using the resources they have to try to keep the community together.
