This page compares each gauge’s live water level against its official National Weather Service flood stage, refreshed every 15 minutes, so you can tell whether the Tippecanoe River is running normal, rising toward flood stage, or already flooding. 6 of 8 gauges have both a usable water-level reading and a published minor flood stage.
