What happens at each level

26.00 ft: Major flooding begins. Widespread inundation flooding expands further into the woodlands and fields upstream and downstream from the gage on Union Road. The water is close to topping the bridge as it acts like a dam. Erosion may occur to the sides of the bridge and county officials will likely have it closed. The flood waters will be from 1 to 3 feet deep over the road.
23.00 ft: Significant flooding continues to expand further into the woodlands and fields upstream and downstream from the gage on Union Road. The water level hits the bridge causing it to act like a dam. Erosion may occur to the sides of the bridge and county officials will likely have it closed. The flood waters will begin to flow over the road just north of the bridge.
21.00 ft: Moderate flooding begins. Significant flooding expands further into the woodlands and fields upstream and downstream from the gage on Union Road. The water level reaches the bottom of the bridge and county officials may close the bridge.
