Tampa Bay Area - Flood Waters

Here are the local stats for Rivers in the Tampa Bay area.
The first column is the name of the river and below it, the town it is affecting. The first number "Flood Stage", the third number is the current "Observed Stage" These numbers are in Feet. Most are predicted to fall by at least two feet between now and Tuesday, but this still leaves most of them well above Flood Stage.

For example, the Cyrpess Creek at Worthington's flood stage is 8 feet, but it is currently at 13.4 feet!
