| Flood Impacts |
| 9.5 | THE GREATEST FLOOD SINCE AT LEAST 1913 IS IN PROGRESS NEAR AND DOWNSTREAM FROM THE LA CUEVA GAGING SITE. SIGNIFICANT INUNDATION OF PASTURE AND RANGE LAND PERSISTS. BACKWATER FLOODING RESULTING IN WATER FLOWING ONTO STATE ROAD 442 NEAR ITS INTERSECTION WITH HIGHWAY 518 AT LA CUEVA MAY HALT TRAFFIC. NEARBY AND DOWNSTREAM PRIVATE RIVER CROSSINGS MAY BECOME UNSAFE OR IMPASSABLE DUE TO THE HIGH WATER ALTHOUGH PUBLIC BRIDGES MAY YET REMAIN PASSABLE. |
| 7.0 | PASTURE AND RANGE LAND BOTH UPSTREAM AND DOWNSTREAM FROM THE GAGING SITE IS BECOMING FURTHER INUNDATED AS THE RIVER HAS OVERTOPPED ITS NATURAL BANKS. WATER IS STILL PASSING UNDER THE STATE HIGHWAY ROUTE 518 BRIDGE AT LA CUEVA BUT SMALLER PRIVATE BRIDGE CROSSINGS FURTHER DOWNSTREAM MAY BE AFFECTED BY THE HIGH WATER WHILE IRRIGATION SYSTEMS MAY BE DAMAGED. |
