What Floods at Each Level
23 ft
Water reaches the surfaces of the Thrasher Pike bridge where the gage is, and the Dayton Pike bridge. Stream-side residences on Willow Creek Drive upstream and left bank from the Dayton Pike bridge may take water in their yards, but the stream bed is wider here than at the gage site, so this impact is an estimate. Businesses on both sides of the creek near the Dayton Pike bridge are flooded with possibly a few feet of water.
19 ft
Water threatens businesses on both sides of the stream immediately downstream from the Dayton Pike bridge, but the stream bed is wider here than at the gage site, so this impact is an estimate.
18.5 ft
Water reaches the bottoms of Thrasher Pike bridge where gage is located, and the Dayton Pike bridge.
17 ft
Facilities upstream and right bank from the Dayton Pike bridge may have flooding of parking lots. The stream bed is wider here than at the gage site, so this impact is an estimate.
