Out of all of our viewing areas Walton County is seeing the worst flooding along the Choctawhatchee River near Bruce and Ebro area.

Here's a look at some of the roads closed in Walton County along the river:

1. River Road.
2. Dead River Road
3. Berrian Lake Road
4. Cedar Log Lake Road.
5. Choctawhatchee River Road.
6. Cowford Road.
7. Pleasant Ridge Rd.
8. Senterfitt Rd.
9. Big Cedar Rd.
10. Morrison Springs Park "closed" due to high water.

If you are driving you are being asked not to drive around barricades.

Officials say cars creating wakes in the water can cause property damage.

Also, a few roads in the Northwest part of Bay County, the Otter Creek Community are under water.

Further up the the Choctawhatchee River into Holmes and Washington Counties. Residents there are seeing moderate flooding.

Holmes and Washington county officials say they're focusing efforts on the small towns along the Choctawhatchee and taking the necessary precautions to keep residents safe.

Over in Gulf County it turns out the expected flooding isn't nearly as bad as first predicted along the Apalachicola River.

Officials say the rain that was predicted to head their way Friday night ended up missing them. But it doesn't mean things are perfect in Gulf County.

There are running waters and strong currents flowing down many of the roads.

Some of the roads closed at this time are Neil Road at Kentucky Landing, Lister's Road, Saul's Creek Road and Byrd Parker Road from Warmouth west.

If you have any questions or concerns you can reach the Gulf County Gulf County Emergency Operations Center at (850) 229-9110 or the Gulf County Sheriff's Office at (850) 227-1115.
