Coffee County, AL

Friday's flooding claimed the life of a five-year-old who was found in Pea River on Saturday, and his 22-year-old uncle who was found Sunday, according to WTVM.

The two were driving in Coffee County and disregarded a barricade that advised motorists not to travel the area due to flooding.

Their car was subsequently swept away, and the two drowned.

They have not been identified yet, but officials told AL.com that both are of Birmingham.
