Ala Eke Rd
Ala Eke features multiple critical flood zones tied directly to rising river levels, including the ditch crossing and the first portion of the road. Because flash floods can be unpredictable, the order and speed at which these areas become impassable can vary from storm to storm. These gauges are here to help you track the river in real time, anticipate when the road might become uncrossable, and make safe decisions for your family.
Flood Threshhold for Ditch Crossing
Gage Height > 4 ft
Discharge(Flow) > 3000 ft per second

**We recommend to set alerts below the flood threshold to act as a warning**
