The U.S. Small Business Administration has issued a disaster declaration in Tuscaloosa County for victims affected by Tropical Storm Claudette last month.
A Tuscaloosa woman says she saw her life flash before her eyes when an alligator nearly flipped her car during one of June's gargantuan periods of intense rainfall.
Those affected by the June 19 flood were forced to evacuate from the mobile home park on June 21 after more heavy rain was expected to fall in the area the following week.
Early estimates from Tuscaloosa Mayor Walt Maddox indicate the city sustained over one million dollars in damage to its water treatment systems as a result of flooding last weekend.
