ALERT: Update on status of the nationwide data transmission error that prevents stream gauge data collected at affected locations from being displayed on the Advanced Hydrologic Prediction Services (AHPS) webpages. The USGS has restored the transmission from all of their gauges or has placed them in a seasonal outage (some Alaska gauges). There are a few USGS gauges that the NWS is not yet receiving the new transmissions and NWS is working to get that data by alternate means. A map of the status of USGS gauges is here. The status map of gauge outages from other agencies is here. The situation has greatly improved and will continue to improve but at a slower pace. The outage maps will now be updated once per week on Thursday. We apologize for the service interruption and hope to have the data restored as soon as possible.

24	Record flooding never seen before occurs with widespread inundation flooding of residential homes and businesses along the creek. The lower levels of the apartment complex near the gage will be flooded. Flood waters will be in lower levels of buildings in the Sun Tan Center. The water will affect the USGS gage house and reach the bottom of the Buford Highway bridge. This height combined with the flow on South Fork Peachtree Creek will produce record flooding downstream on Peachtree Creek in Fulton County.
22	Record flooding never seen before occurs with widespread inundation flooding of residential homes on Victory Drive...Dunwoody Place and Converse Drive. The pool and lower levels of the apartment complex near the gage will be flooded. Flood waters will be up the foundation of buildings in the Sun Tan Center. The water will reach the bottom of the USGS gage house. This height combined with the flow on South Fork Peachtree Creek will produce record flooding downstream on Peachtree Creek in Fulton County.
20	Record flooding never seen before expands from Buford Highway. Widespread inundation flooding occurs of residential homes on Victory Drive...Dunwoody Place and Converse Drive with a few feet of water. The pool and lower levels of the apartment complex near the gage will begin to flood. Flood waters will be up the foundation of buildings in the Sun Tan Center. This height combined with the flow on South Fork Peachtree Creek will produce record flooding downstream on Peachtree Creek in Fulton County.
19	Record flooding never seen before expands from Buford Highway. Widespread inundation flooding occurs of residential homes on Victory Drive...Dunwoody Place and Converse Drive with a few feet of water. Portions of the parking lots of an apartment complex and the Sun Tan Center near the gage will flood with water at the foundations of buildings. This height combined with the flow on South Fork Peachtree Creek will produce major flooding further downstream on Peachtree Creek in Fulton County.
18	Major flooding expands upstream and downstream from Buford Highway. Portions of the backyards of residential homes on Victory Drive...Dunwoody Place and Converse Drive will flood with around 5 feet of water. Portions of the parking lots of an apartment complex and the Sun Tan Center near the gage will flood with water at the foundations of buildings. This height combined with the flow on South Fork Peachtree Creek will likely produce major flooding further downstream on Peachtree Creek in Fulton County.
17	Major flooding begins upstream and downstream from Buford Highway. Portions of the backyards of residential homes on Victory Drive...Dunwoody Place and Converse Drive will flood with around 4 feet of water. Portions of the parking lots of an apartment complex and the Sun Tan Center near the gage will flood with water at the foundations of buildings. This height combined with the flow on South Fork Peachtree Creek will likely produce major flooding further downstream on Peachtree Creek in Fulton County.
16	Significant flooding continues upstream and downstream from Buford Highway. Portions of the backyards of residential homes on Victory Drive...Dunwoody Place and Converse Drive will be flooded with around 3 feet of water. A portion of the Sun Tan Center parking lot near the gage will flood as the water reaches a corner of a building. This height combined with the flow on South Fork Peachtree Creek will produce significant flooding further downstream on Peachtree Creek in Fulton County.
15	Moderate flooding begins along the creek upstream and downstream from Buford Highway or Georgia Highway 13. Large portions of the backyards of residential homes on Victory Drive...Dunwoody Place and Converse Drive will be flooded with around two feet of water. A portion of the Sun Tan Center parking lot near the gage begins to flood. This height combined with the flow on South Fork Peachtree Creek will likely produce significant flooding further downstream on Peachtree Creek in Fulton County.
14	Minor flooding continues along the creek upstream and downstream from the gage on Buford Highway or Georgia Highway 13. Portions of the backyards of residential homes on Victory Drive...Dunwoody Place and Converse Drive will be flooded with around one foot of water. This height combined with the flow on South Fork Peachtree Creek will likely produce flooding further downstream on Peachtree Creek in Fulton County.
13	Flood stage is reached. Minor flooding of the natural flood plain begins upstream and downstream from the gage on Buford Highway or Georgia Highway 13. This includes low portions of the backyards of residential homes on Victory Drive...Dunwoody Place and Converse Drive. This height combined with the flow on South Fork Peachtree Creek may also produce flooding further downstream on Peachtree Creek in Fulton County.
11	Bankfull conditions are reached upstream and downstream from the stream gage at Buford Highway or Georgia Highway 13.
