Moderate Flood Stage. Addison Dr is inundated by 12-24 inches of rapidly flowing floodwaters, capable of picking up vehicles. Floodwaters have cut off access to residential driveway closest to McMullen Creek and floodwaters may begin entering crawl space of adjacent home. Damming effects of Addison Dr culverts forces McMullen Creek to expand significantly into adjacent low-lying areas possibly affecting residential yards along Wonderwood Dr, Brook Forest Ln, Shasta Ln, Robinhood Rd, and Shady Bluff Ln.
- 8.2 ft
Minor Flood Stage continues. Addison Dr is inundated by 10-18 inches of rapidly flowing floodwaters, capable of picking up vehicles. Overtopping of Addison Dr from Robinhood Rd to Lincrest Pl has relieved damming effect upstream of Addison Dr, causing spike in stage downstream and reduction of residential yard inundation between Addison Dr, Chaplin Ln, and Nottingham Dr. However, a spike in inundation will result downstream of Addison Dr, impacting Lincrest Pl.
- 8.1 ft
Minor Flood Stage continues. Addison Dr is inundated by 8-12 inches of rapidly flowing floodwaters. Lincrest Pl is likely inundated. Floodwaters expand down Addison Dr and approach closest driveway to McMullen Creek. Widespread inundation up to 12 inches deep of low-lying areas in the vicinity of Addison Dr and Lincrest Pl. Culvert damming effect may create psuedo crest as flow backs up upstream of gauge above Addison Dr. Expect jump in crest once significant overtopping occurs along Addison Dr.
- 8 ft
Minor Flood Stage continues. Addison Dr is inundated by 6-10 inches of rapidly flowing floodwaters, capable of picking up vehicles. Lincrest Pl is likely inundated. Addison Dr culverts create damming effect making stage unreliable and resulting in significant variations in impacts.

- 7.9 ft
