At 6.5 feet, KOA campground begins to take precautions with sites closest to river. At 8.5 feet, KOA campground impacts increase as water flows through portions a little further in. A narrowing of the channel just downstream from the campground might elevate stream height in the campground during higher flows due to a damming effect. At 9.5 feet, Low spots along Little Germany Road will begin to flood. At 11.0 feet, The main camping level of the KOA campground is covered by water. At 11.5 feet, Property at Bumpus Cove Road and Little Germany Road floods. At 12.0 feet, Pasture land around the Highway 107 bridge floods. The channel narrows at the bridge just downstream of the gauge, which may elevate the river level at the gauge during higher flows due to damming effect. At 13.0 feet, Portions of AJ Willis Road will flood. At 14.0 feet, Back yards of riverside homes along Bumpus Cove Road take substantial water. At 16.0 feet, Water reaches the pad of the train car at KOA Campground. At 17.0 feet, Low spots along Hwy 107 between Embreeville and Erwin might flood. At 18.0 feet, Water might threaten the lowest of a row of riverside homes along Bumpus Cove Road a half mile upstream from the bridge. Flows this high contain increasing uncertainty as to how the gauge readings downstream near the bridge are reflective of stream heights and impacts along Bumpus Cove Road. At 21.5 feet, A Bumpus Cove Road resident reported that the 1977 flood was said to have gotten into the house she lives in, which sits on a concrete slab, while it did not get into the house next door, which sits two feet higher atop a crawl space. This is a source of uncertainty of impacts at this location and its relation to gauge measurements downstream near the bridge and any effects of damming the bridge may cause near the gauge. At 24.0 feet, Flood of record. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS. - At 11:15 AM EDT Friday the stage was 19.6 feet. - Bankfull stage is 7.0 feet. - Recent Activity.
