HAPPENING NOW
10 monitored locations flooding
Altamaha River flooding near Everett City
Wednesday, February 21 2024 - 1104 am EST
Streamflow situation based on provisional data from USGS streamflow gauges in the rivers and creeks of Georgia
10 stations remain above flood stage again Wednesday morning, including Ocmulgee River flooding at Abbeville and Lumber City. Downstream from Lumber City, past the confluence of Ocmulgee and Oconee Rivers, Altamaha River continues to flood near Charlotteville, Baxley, Doctortown and Everett City.
Oconee River is still flooding at Mount Vernon, Ogeechee River is still flooding at Eden, Ohoopee River is still flooding at Reidsville and Savannah River is still flooding near Cylo.
Little Satilla River is no longer flooding at Offerman.
Check black tags on the map for updated flood flow levels. Blue tags for action stage of 99th percentile flows.
Turn around, don`t drown when encountering flooded roads. Most flood deaths occur in vehicles.

No part of Georgia is in any category of drought or below normal rating.
USGS Provisional Data Statement
Data are provisional and subject to revision until they have been thoroughly reviewed and received final approval. Current condition data relayed by satellite or other telemetry are automatically screened to not display improbable values until they can be verified.
Provisional data may be inaccurate due to instrument malfunctions or physical changes at the measurement site. Subsequent review based on field inspections and measurements may result in significant revisions to the data.
Data users are cautioned to consider carefully the provisional nature of the information before using it for decisions that concern personal or public safety or the conduct of business that involves substantial monetary or operational consequences. Information concerning the accuracy and appropriate uses of these data or concerning other hydrologic data may be obtained from the USGS.
USGS seven-day average streamflows at each monitoring location are rated against the historic average flow volume for this day. Results appear on the drought map, showing surface area with a rating: below normal, moderate drought, severe drought or extreme drought. The drought-rated surface area most often follows watershed lines, the physical topography of drainage and direction of flow of the surface water across the state. The watershed layer on the map shows surface area impacted by streamflows in each drainage area. Turn the directional arrows on to see which way the water flows, along with hazardous spills reported in the area that could have an impact on water quality.
