1. 17.00 ftMajor flooding begins. Widespread innundation of water expands further into the woodlands and fields near the creek upstream and downstream from the gage on Georgia Highway 212 or Scott Highway. The bridge forms an obstacle and acts like a dam causing some backwater and erosion eddies to the sides of the bridge. The water level reaches the top of the bridge. The depth of water on the road at the bridge will be around two feet deep. The water level reaches the gage house. Data may not be reliable.
