Flood Tracker provisional data from USGS streamflow monitors
Twenty-four stream gauges record flood stage in continental USA Friday afternoon, up from twenty this time yesterday. WT is currently tracking flooding at twelve of these locations, six located in Georgia and six in Louisiana.
Louisiana is consistent, the same four water bodies are flooding another day in Regions 1, 4 and 7, covering the west border and east state border in flood. The same six monitoring stations are lighting up the flood dashboard Friday, Bayou Dorcheat is still flooding near Springhill and downstream Minden, trending down. Bayou Bodcau continues to rise near Shreveport, currently six feet over flood stage. Pearl River is more than two and a half feet out of the channel near Bogalusa and downstream at the municipality of Pearl River. Both stations are recording a declining flow trend.

Two rivers continue to flood in south Georgia Friday. Satilla River has retreated back inside its channel overnight leaving the Altamaha and Savannah Rivers the last players active on the March 6 - 22, 2024 flood dashboard. Altamaha River began to show the first signs of slowing down at its top end yesterday, still more than a foot over flood stage at half the water volume seen recently. Downstream monitors near Baxley, at Doctortown and at Everett City record water levels from ten inches to three and a half feet over, the total flow volume increases from 33 to 43 to 53 to 63 thousand cubic feet per second from the top end to the bottom. The greatest water volume has already moved toward the outlet on the Atlantic Coast at Brunswick. Savannah River is still well above flood stage, starting to taper off at Burtons Ferry Rd near Milhaven, still increasing downstream near Cylo. More to follow. This flood won't be ending anytime soon.
