24.4 FEMA flood insurance maps indicate that a river level of 24.4 feet corresponds to the water elevation associated with the 0.2 percent (500 year) flood zone. If your property is determined to be in this zone, then it is at a high risk for flooding during a record flood event. This magnitude of flooding has a 0.2 percent chance of occurring in any year.
20.3 This level is the all-time, historic flood of record before the existence of the stream gauge at this location. The flood occurred on October 9, 1903, and is commonly known as the Pumpkin Flood.
19.1 This level is the modern day record flood of June 2006. Widespread flooding occurred from Cannonsville Dam to Hancock with catastrophic property and infrastructure damages.
16.8 FEMA flood insurance maps indicate that a river level of 16.8 feet corresponds to the water elevation associated with the 1 percent (100 year) flood zone. If your property is determined to be in this zone, then it is at a high risk for flooding during major floods. This magnitude of flooding has a 1 percent chance of occurring in any year.
