ALERT: November 15 update on the status of the nationwide data transmission error preventing stream gauge data collected at affected locations from being displayed on the Advanced Hydrologic Prediction Services (AHPS) webpages. As of 11/08/2018, The USGS has restored all impacted operational stream gauges to transmitting status. The status map of gauge outages from other agencies is here. The outage map will be updated each Thursday. We apologize for the service interruption and hope to have the data restored as soon as possible.

Why aren't the FEMA National Flood Hazard Layers showing on the ESRI Map? Possible reasons: There are no FEMA National Flood Hazard Layers for the location which you are viewing on ESRI Maps. The FEMA Web Mapping Service (WMS) is down. Note: Your zoom level may have changed. ESRI's zoom levels must be between 14 and 16 to show National Flood Hazard layers.

17.5	The Sturgeon River Road bridge over the Sturgeon River will be under water
15	Water is likely flowing over the bridge between Sturgeon River Road and Rajala Road due to backwater effects
14.5	Water reaches the bottom of the bridge between Sturgeon River Road and Rajala Road. The bridge begins to cause backwater effects at this stage
12	Flooding is occurring along the river with water levels similar to April of 2002. Lower portions of Sturgeon River Road...Aho Road...and Rajala Road are impassable
10.5	The river begins to overflow onto Sturgeon River Road...Rajala Road...and Aho Road
Photos (1) Staff Gauge at site (2) Rajala Road near gauge site - stage = 10.7 feet (3) Sturgeon River Road near gauge site - stage = 10.7 feet (4) Looking downstream from gauge site - stage = 10.7 feet (5) Looking upstream from gauge site - stage = 10.7 feet
