34	Major lowland flooding occurs. Water is completely covering the new bridge.
28	Major lowland flooding. Water is to the lowest portion of the new bridge. Low water crossings are inundated with several feet of water, likely cutting of residents
21	Major lowland flooding occurs, and cuts livestock off and potentially drowns them well away from the creek. Most roads and low bridges near the river are severely flooded and are dangerous
17	Major lowland flooding extends well into the flood plain, cutting off livestock. Roads and low bridges near the river are flooded and are dangerous
16	Moderate lowland flooding. Flooding of secondary roads and low bridges
15	Minor lowland flooding reaches secondary and primary roads and low bridges.
14	Bankfull stage occurs. Flow reaches into the lowest flood plain
