Flood Impacts 🅘

35 - Great destruction to transportation systems in Greene County. Worthington, Newberry, and numerous rural residents cut off from the outside world. Floodwaters threaten water wells for Bloomfield. All levees in Greene County are breached and or overtopped. The downstream towns of Elnora and Westphalia are flooded as a result of these levee breaches.
34 - Great destruction to transportation systems, agricultural fields, and many homes in Greene County. Many residents in Greene County are isolated. Residents of Worthington needing hospital care should have evacuated before this level.
33.5 - Record flooding is in progress. Four important state roads flood, including U.S. 231. Extensive flooding in the Third Steet Neighborhood of Worthington could be worse than June 2008 especially if the Eel River is at record level. Worthington is an island because every way out of town is flooded. Railroad tracks southwest of Worthington, just south of SR 67, wash out just like in June 2008.
