- Description:
- In January 1925 the water of the Ocmulgee River crested at 36.6 feet in Hawkinsville, causing significant damage to the town's economy by flooding sawmills and washing away cut timber. The flood remained the highest on record in Hawkinsville until the 1994 flood caused by tropical storm Alberto.
