- 14.00 ftMajor flooding begins with widespread inundation of the woodlands and fields along the creek upstream and downstream from the gage on Suwanee Dam Road. Flood waters will top the bridge and road with a possible washout. Portions of the tennis courts on Gladstone Parkway and the Bears Best Golf Course will be under two feet of water. The USGS gage house will be flooded with one foot of water and this will likely cause a loss of data transmission.
- 13.00 ftSignificant flooding continues in the woodlands and fields along the creek upstream and downstream from the gage on Suwanee Dam Road. The water level continues to hit the bridge with erosion likely to the sides of the road bed. Portions of the tennis courts on Gladstone Parkway and the Bears Best Golf Course will be under a foot of water. The water reaches the bottom of the USGS gage house which may affect data transmission.
- 12.00 ftModerate flooding begins. Significant flooding occurs in the woodlands and fields along the creek upstream and downstream from the gage on Suwanee Dam Road.
