| 19.0 Feet | Significant flows are occurring along the entire reach of the river, with flooding of adjacent farm lands north of victorville. The levees are threatened in the more densely populated areas of hesperia, victorville, and helendale, with overtopping possible in areas where vegetation or debris chokes the channel. |
| 18.0 Feet | Significant flows have likely reached helendale and points to the north, with farm lands in the river bed and adjacent areas north of victorville inundated. Rock springs road in hesperia is in danger of washing out. Some erosion of the levees can be expected in victorville and helendale. |
