- Current stage readings for the Luxapallila Creek at Millport are unrepresentative of natural hydrologic flow. Significant and persistent downstream blockages and logjams are causing the creek to experience a chronic backwater effect. The gage will likely remain at or above previously established flood stages until further notice
