The Paint Rock River remained above flood stage for much of the first part of December. Here it is flooding an immense section of farmlands off Alabama Highway 65, just off U.S. 72.	Another vantage point of the Paint Rock River flooding, showing just how extensive the flood waters extend.

Flood waters flow across a barricaded Rock Cut Road, off U.S. Highway 72 in western Jackson County.	The flood waters extended up into nearby fields.
