13.7 This is the historical flood of record caused by an ice jam during February 1954.
11.6 This is the flood stage caused by natural flow from Spetember 2011. It is the modern flood of record of this stream gage.
11.4 This is the level of the major flood of June 2006.
11.3 FEMA flood insurance risk maps indocate that this level, as measured at the stream gage, marks the 100 year (1 percent) floodplain. Your property is at risk for flooding during a major flood event. A 100 year flood is a flood that has a 1 percent chance of occurring in any year.
11 Three feet of water covers Main Street in Sherburne.
10 About 2 feet of water covers north Main Street, Knapp Street, and Gould Drive.
9.5 Water covers Blanding Road near State Highway 12, South Cross Road, Conley Road, and the north end of Williams Road. Water begins seeping across north Main Street from downtown Sherburne to the Big M.
