Flooding Information & Updates
Current Information
There are no flood warnings at this time.
Your help is needed: The Suwannee River Water Management District is assisting the National Weather Service and local county Emergency Managers to update impact information at flood forecast points and to collect impact information for potential new forecast points. We need your observations of river levels at your nearest gage when impacts occur. We do not need your name, address, or any specific identifying information, just the impact, name of your gage, level at your gage, and the general area. For example:
- My access road near Convict Springs is cut off when Luraville is above 42.
- Water enters my house near 340 when the Rock Bluff gage goes above 25.
- We remove our RV near Gibson Park when Ellaville is above 50.
