USGS Gulf Coast streamgage map
The USGS is hosting a map of possible flood conditions based on real-time streamgage data. The streamgages are depicted as circles color-coded according to their current levels compared to historical levels. The red squares are storm surge sensors.Because the data from about 4,200 of the 7,292 stations are telemetered by an earth-satellite-based communications system, those data are available in realtime for many agencies to conduct water-resources projects and for the National Weather Service (NWS) to forecast floods.
