20 Major flooding begins. Widespread inundation flooding will expand further into the woodlands and fields near the river upstream and downstream from the gage on Henderson Mill Road. The water level will be around three feet deep in the private residence near the bridge. The garage and driveway will be under five feet of water. Portions of Dixie Road around one quarter mile from Henderson Mill Road will be under three feet of water.
17 Moderate flooding continues to expand further into the woodlands and fields near the river upstream and downstream from the gage on Henderson Mill Road. The water level reaches the foundation of the elevated private residence just upstream and on the left bank from the bridge. The garage and driveway will be under one to two of water. Portions of Dixie Road near a bend in the river...or around one quarter mile from Henderson Mill Road will begin to flood.
15 Moderate flooding begins. Flooding continues to expand further into the woodlands and fields near the river upstream and downstream from the gage on Henderson Mill Road. The water level reaches the foundation of the garage and driveway next to the private residence just upstream and on the left bank from the bridge.
13 Minor flooding continues to expand further into the woodlands and fields near the river upstream and downstream from the gage on Henderson Mill Road. The water level reaches the fourth wooden step behind an elevated private residence just upstream and on the left bank from the bridge.
11 Flood Stage is reached. Minor flooding begins of woodlands and fields near the river upstream and downstream from the gage on Henderson Mill Road. The water level reaches the first wooden step behind an elevated private residence just upstream and on the left bank from the bridge.
