Worried About Flooding? Water Level Info Here
Here's where to find the latest real-time data on river and creek levels. The Napa River level peaked Wednesday at 18.28 feet at 9 a.m. Monitor stage is 22 feet and flood stage is 25 feet, according to the state.
"I'm trying to figure out the best place to see stats for the Napa river- flood stage, current levels, etc. Any tips on where I should go?" writes Christy Bors in a "shout" on our home page.
Yes, Christy! If you're just interested in the Napa River, the California Department of Water Resources website keeps tabs on water levels with automated sensors in multiple locations. For the latest hourly data on the Napa River, go to http://cdec.water.ca.gov/queryQuick.html, enter "NAP" in the box and then click "Get Data."
But as many Napans know, the river is not the only thing we need to watch in rainy weather. Creek flooding can devastate neighborhoods even when the river has not overspilled its banks.
