Flood Impacts 🅘

29 - Near record flooding. Widespread rural flooding is in progress. Evacuations are necessary behind Island Creek levee in Indiana and in the small Illinois towns of Hutsonville, York, and Darwin. Water is at the top of most agricultural levees. Many local river roads are extensively flooded. A 5 mile drive from Hutsonville to Grayville across the Wabash is now a 70 mile trip.
28.1 - At this level or slightly above SR 154 is closed to prevent shaking of nearby Island Creek Levee.
28 - Widespread rural flooding is in progress. All river roads are impassable, some by several feet of water. Evacuations are necessary in the small Illinois towns of Hutsonville, Darwin and eastern portion of York. Evacuations may also be necessary for those couple of families behind Island levee in Indiana. Water is at the top of most agricultural levees.

Displayed on this site are the river forecast stages for the closed Hutsonville Power Plant when flooding is expected. During the April 2013 flood at Hutsonville, major problems were discovered between the readings taken on State Road 154 bridge and at this location. On April 24 the SR 154 readings were nearly 2 feet lower than the Power Plant reading. Use your long term flood marks during extreme stages as a reference

This river site was operated by the former Central Illinois Public Service and is now closed.
