| Flood Impacts |
| 17.0 | DEVASTATING FLOODING WILL OCCUR FROM FIDLERS BEND TO CHEWEY BRIDGE. PERMANENT CAMPGROUNDS WILL BE SEVERELY FLOODED. MUCH OF THE FIDLERS BEND AREA WILL BE FLOODED FOR A PROLONGED PERIOD. |
| 15.0 | SEVERE FLOODING WILL OCCUR FIDLERS BEND TO CHEWEY BRIDGE. FARMLAND AND PERMANENT CAMPGROUNDS WILL BE AFFECTED. SEVERAL CABINS IN THE FIDLERS BEND AREA WILL BE FLOODED OR ISOLATED FOR PROLONGED PERIODS. |
| 13.0 | MODERATE FLOODING WILL OCCUR FROM FIDLERS BEND TO CHEWEY BRIDGE. FLOATING THE ILLINOIS RIVER WILL BE UNSAFE. PERMANENT CAMPGROUNDS AND A FEW CABINS MAY BECOME ISOLATED BY HIGH WATER. |
| 11.0 | MINOR FLOODING WILL OCCUR FROM FIDLERS BEND TO CHEWEY BRIDGE. PERMANENT CAMPGROUNDS AND FARMLANDS WILL BE AFFECTED. TURBULENCE WILL MAKE THE RIVER UNSAFE FOR FLOATING. |
