What this means
Sand Fork near Glenville is well above normal at 2.30 ft.

That stands out in fall, when many rivers are usually near their lowest.
Compared with 5 years of daily readings for this time of year. How to read levels
Flood levels and safety
Most flood deaths in the US happen in vehicles. Six inches of fast water can knock an adult off their feet, and a foot or two can float a car. If a road is covered, turn around.
Readings can change quickly after heavy rain upstream, so check again before heading near the water.
