39	Record flooding continues with widespread inundation flooding upstream and downstream from Owens Gin Road. The flood waters will be 9 to 11 feet deep over portions of the farmland. The water level will be hitting the bridge and county officials will have it closed. Portions of Owens Gin Road and Pine Chapel Road will be under 5 to 7 feet of water. A few farm buildings will be flooded on the left bank 4 to 6 feet deep. A few houses just south of the bridge will be flooded 1 to 4 feet deep.
37	Record flooding occurs with widespread inundation flooding of farmland and pasture upstream and downstream from Owens Gin Road. The flood waters will be 7 to 9 feet deep in some locations. The water level will reach the bottom of the bridge and county officials may close it. Portions of Owens Gin Road and Pine Chapel Road will be under 3 to 5 feet of water. A few farm buildings will be flooded on the left bank 2 to 4 feet deep. A house or two just south of the bridge will be flooded 1 to 2 feet deep.
35	Record flooding occurs with widespread inundation flooding of woodlands...farmland and pasture upstream and downstream from the gauge at Owens Gin Road. The flood waters will be 5 to 7 feet deep in some locations. Portions of Owens Gin Road and Pine Chapel Road will be under 1 to 3 feet of water. A few farm buildings will be flooded on the left bank one to two feet deep. A house or two just south of the bridge will begin to flood.
34	Near record flooding occurs with widespread inundation flooding of woodlands...farmland and pasture upstream and downstream from the gauge at Owens Gin Road. The flood waters will be several feet deep in some locations. Portions of Owens Gin Road and Pine Chapel Road will be under a foot or two of water. A few farm buildings on the left bank will be flooded one foot deep. Flood waters will approach the foundation of a house just south of the bridge.
33	Moderate flooding begins. Significant flooding of woodlands...farmland and pasture occurs upstream and downstream from the gauge at Owens Gin Road. The flood waters will be several feet deep in some locations. Low lying portions of Owens Gin Road and Pine Chapel Road will begin to flood. A few farm buildings will begin to flood on the left bank. A portion of the Fields Ferry Golf Course on the north end will be under a few feet of water.
31	Minor flooding expands much further into woodlands...farmland and pasture upstream and downstream from the river gauge at Owens Gin Road. The flood waters will be 3 to 5 feet deep in some locations. A portion of the Fields Ferry Golf Course on the north end will be under a foot or two of water.
