12	Moderate flooding begins. Significant flooding expands further into the woodlands and fields along the creek downstream from the Rocky Mountain Lower Reservoir main dam. The Texas Valley Road bridge around two and one half miles downstream from the dam will be flooded with four feet of water. Residents will need to take an alternative route. Several pole barns and other farm structures will be affected by the flood waters. Water will be approaching the foundations of some homes on Texas Valley Road.
10	Minor flooding expands further into the woodlands and fields along the creek downstream from the Rocky Mountain Lower Reservoir main dam. The shallow Texas Valley Road bridge around two and one half miles downstream from the dam will be flooded with water around two feet deep. Residents will need to take an alternative route.
9	Minor flooding continues of the woodlands and fields along the creek downstream from the Rocky Mountain Lower Reservoir main dam. The shallow Texas Valley Road bridge around two and one half miles downstream from the dam will be flooded with water around one foot deep. Residents will need to take an alternative route.
8	Flood stage is reached. Minor flooding occurs of the woodlands and fields along the creek downstream from the Rocky Mountain Lower Reservoir main dam. The shallow Texas Valley Road bridge will begin to flood around two and one half miles downstream from the dam.
6	Bankfull conditions are reached along the creek upstream and downstream from the gage located around three tenths of a mile from the Rocky Mountain Lower Reservoir main dam. The water level will reach the bottom of the shallow bridge on Texas Valley Road around two miles downstream from the gage.
