CROSBY —Following a record rainfall of approximately 18 inches Friday through Sunday, 21 residences are damaged in Crosby, 21 roads are compromised and nine bridges are out in Wilkinson County.

Wilkinson County Emergency Management Director Thomas Tolliver Jr. said it was initially reported 40 residences were damaged in Crosby, but after doing further assessments, Mississippi Emergency Management Agency lowered it to 21.

Tolliver said in Centreville and in the area of Buffalo Road, assessments are still being conducted.

Tolliver said the county is working with MEMA to come up with assessments on damaged property and the state would ultimately seek federal funds if the area qualifies.

Wilkinson County Public Schools are closed until Wednesday, Tolliver said, while Wilkinson County Christian Academy opened back up Monday.

Tolliver said the public schools suffered damage during the flood and are being inventoried and assessed. Another problem, Tolliver said, is some of the teachers live in Louisiana and are unable to report to work.

On Monday, nine roads were closed and a total of 21 had been compromised, Tolliver said.

The roads, facing various problems including closures, are Millbrook Road, Smithland Road, Raccoon Road, Lovers Lane, Chapel Church Road, Locust Hill Road, Fort Adams Road, Percy Creek Sand Road, Lake Mary Road, Ferguson Road, Donegal Road, Hirman McGraw Road, Beaver Creek Road, Fords Creek Road, Cold Spring Road, Rosetta Road, Ancil Cox Road, Honey Suckle Road, Thelma Lane, Snow Hill Church Road. The list also includes an unnamed road.

Tolliver said the Wilkinson County Board of Supervisors would be working to get a cost estimate on repairing all of the damaged roads.

Gov. Phil Bryant declared a State of Emergency for Wilkinson, Adams, Amite, Pike and other counties affected by flooding Aug. 13. The State of Emergency allows local governments to request state assistance for response and recovery associated with the storms.
