What happens at each level

19.00 ft: The water level reaches the top of the bridge causing severe erosion and potentially a washout.
18.00 ft: Major flooding begins with widespread inundation of the woodlands and residential yards upstream and downstream from the gage at Graves Road. The water level begins to cover portions of Graves Road and the bridge forms an obstacle and acts like a dam causing some backwater and erosion eddies to the sides of the bridge. County officials will close the bridge. Record flooding will be occurring much further downstream in DeKalb County.
17.00 ft: Signficant flooding continues to expand into the woodlands and residential yards upstream and downstream from the gage at Graves Road.
