Please Note:
1) Each individual timeseries plotted on the graphical river forecast can be toggled on and off by clicking the legend entry above. If the "Observed (Raw Data)" contains bad data and is toggled off, the plot will scale to the remaining timeseries.

2) At extremely low river flows, the "Observed (Raw Data)" may show readings below the lower end of the available rating table, while the "Observed (Simulated)" will only show values at the bottom of the rating table, creating a potential discrepancy between the two readings.

Flood Impacts
6.0 Feet	Major flood stage. The creek in Lamoille hits the bridge with water over the road. Lowland rural roads and homes near the creek experience moderate flooding. This would be similar to the floods of 1986, 1995, and 2010.
5.5 Feet	Moderate flood stage. The creek in Lamoille approaches the bottom of the bridge. The flow is extremely strong and will carry away any person falling into the creek. Lowland flooding near the creek in Lamoille with nearby homes experiencing minor flooding. Minor flooding across lowland rural roads. This would be similar to the floods of 2019 and 2023.
4.8 Feet	Minor flood stage. Minor flooding occurs in the town of Lamoille. Water can seep into basements near the creek.
4.0 Feet	Action stage. Visitors to Lamoille Canyon and the Powerhouse Picnic Area need to use extreme caution around Lamoille Creek and other creeks in the Ruby Mountains. Pets, children, and even adults can be swept away in strong currents.
