Flood levels and safety

Readings can change quickly after heavy rain upstream, so check again before heading near the water.

What happens at each level

13.00 ft: Major flooding begins. Widespread inundation flooding occurs in the woodlands and fields along the creek upstream and downstream from the gage on Boogers Hill Road. The flood waters will top the culvert and road around 3 feet deep with a possible washout. The flood waters will impact the USGS gage house with a loss of transmitted data.
12.00 ft: Significant flooding continues to expand further into the woodlands...natural flood plain and fields along the creek upstream and downstream from the gage on Boogers Hill Road. The flood waters will top the culvert and road around two feet deep with erosion likely. The water level will reach the bottom of the USGS gage house which may cause a loss of transmitted data.
11.00 ft: Moderate flooding begins. Significant flooding occurs in the woodlands...natural flood plain and fields along the creek upstream and downstream from the gage on Boogers Hill Road. The flood waters will top the culvert and road around one foot deep with possible erosion.
10.00 ft: Minor flooding continues in the woodlands and the natural flood plain of the creek upstream and downstream from the gage on Boogers Hill Road. The water level will reach the top of the culvert with maximum flow through three pipes. Low portions of the road near the culvert will begin to flood.
9.00 ft: Flood Stage is reached. Minor flooding begins of woodlands and the natural flood plain of the creek upstream and downstream from the gage on Boogers Hill Road.
