  • Gauge 04087233: water level 2.34 ft · not enough history for this gauge to say what is usual · U.S. Geological Survey · 26 min ago
  • Gauge 04087240: water level 2.62 ft · not enough history for this gauge to say what is usual · U.S. Geological Survey · 26 min ago

River levels are shown against their usual, but not yet judged. A gauge’s usual here is its range of October monthly averages; the reading is the latest 15-minute value, which a passing rain or dry spell can carry outside that range. So no river gauge makes this county Unusual For Here until we compare each day with the same day’s history.

A gauge’s usual is its range of October monthly averages over its record (USGS).

Background

  • Gasoline prices (EIA)
    Regular gasoline, Midwest (PADD 2), week of 2026-10-19: $4.145 a gallon, up 0 cents from the week before. U.S. Energy Information Administration

Each line is the source's own fields, linked to the source. Unusual is this county against its own history, never against other counties. FRA posts about three months after an accident, so its lines are reported, not breaking.
