25	Record flooding never seen before will cause widespread inundation of the woodlands and fields near the creek upstream and downstream from the gage on Stilesboro Road. The bridge will be topped with around two feet of water and will likely cause erosion to the sides of the bridge. The flood waters will be around 6 feet deep on portions of the road. This flooding will be worse than the September 2009 flood event.
