22	Major flooding begins. Widespread inundation flooding occurs in the woodlands and wetlands along the river upstream and downstream from the gage on Georgia Highway 100. The water level continues to hit the bridge with erosion likely to the sides of the bridge. Flood waters will begin to cover portions of the road. County officials will have it closed.
20	Significant flooding expands further into the woodlands and wetlands along the river upstream and downstream from the gage on Georgia Highway 100. The water level hits the bridge and will likely cause erosion to the sides of the bridge. County officials will likely have it closed.
18	Significant flooding continues in the woodlands and wetlands along the river upstream and downstream from the gage on Georgia Highway 100. The water level hits the bridge and may cause erosion to the sides of the bridge. County officials may need to close it.
