- 12.00 ft(3.7 meters), Major flooding is very dangerous for livestock in the flood plain. Recreationists downstream on the Devils River near Paffords Crossing to Lake Amistad should move away from the flood plain.
- 8.00 ft(2.4 meters), Moderate lowland flooding cuts off and potentially drowns livestock in low areas of the flood plain. Torrential flow can wash campers, autos and gear downstream near and below Paffords Crossing.
- 5.00 ft(1.5 meters), Minor lowland flooding extends into low areas of the flood plain with little impact.
