6.09 inches of rain fell in two days, the most for this week of the year since records began in 1899. The next wettest, 4.94 inches, fell in 2015.
Haynes’s center stands about 230 ft above sea level. Within three miles the land runs from 180 ft to 260 ft, a difference of 80 ft: gently rolling country. The highest named summit within 15 miles is Robinson Hill, about 400 ft, 12 miles south-southeast.
Under the town center the state geologic map shows Terrace deposits (coarse-detrital, fine-detrital), from the Pleistocene, less than 2.6 million years old.
The section below crosses 5 rock units mapped at the surface.
Heights every 0.1 mile from the Copernicus GLO-90 surface model; vertical exaggeration about 64×. The colored band under the surface is the rock the state geologic map shows at the surface, not a picture of what lies beneath.
Coarse-detrital, fine-detrital. Age: Pleistocene, less than 2.6 million years old. About 16 mi of the line.
Silt. Age: Pleistocene, less than 2.6 million years old. About 3 mi of the line.
Coarse-detrital, fine-detrital. Age: Holocene, less than 12,000 years old. About 3 mi of the line.
Sand, clay. Age: Middle Eocene, 38 to 48 million years old. About 2 mi of the line.
Sand, gravel. Age: Pleistocene, less than 2.6 million years old. About 1 mi of the line.

A raindrop that lands in Haynes reaches the Gulf of America by way of the L'Anguille, the Saint Francis and the Mississippi: about 730 river miles.
Traced down the USGS NHDPlus V2.1 river network from the Census center point of Haynes; river miles along the main stem, rounded.
Haynes has a humid subtropical climate. Summer afternoons average 91° in July; winter nights fall to about 32° in January. About 52 inches of rain fall in a normal year, with about 1 inch of snow.
On November 14 Haynes normally reaches 62° and falls to 42°. The record high is 82°, in 1955; the record low 18°, in 1940. The most rain on this date, 3.17 in, fell in 1980.
Normals 1991–2020 and records since 1899 at Marianna 2 S, 11 miles south. NOAA, through RCC-ACIS.
