For reference - hopefully not needed -

Flood stage on the Little Kanawha River at Glenville is 23 feet.

At 27 feet, the flood waters flow under the stoplights at the junction of Rts. 119 and 5 in town. I know you guys are wondering about stoplights. Glenville has the only stoplights in Gilmer County. All four lights are at this intersection in town.

At 30 feet, waters start entering Go-Mart.
