Abstract:
A flood warning system for providing persons with an advance warning of a flooded area has a gauge unit positioned in a waterway, a control unit configured to receive signals transmitted by the gauge unit in order to determine whether a condition of the waterway is safe, and a warning light unit positioned remotely from the gauge unit in a path adjacent to a roadway ahead of the waterway. The gauge unit has one or more sensors in a housing that measure a water level is water enters or exits the housing and a signal transmitter cooperative with the gauge unit that transmits a signal in response to a pre-defined water level being reached. The warning light includes a light illuminated in response to the gauge unit measuring a current water level is flooding the roadway.

Claim (Index 7):
A flood warning system for use in the advanced warning of a flooded area, the flood warning system comprising:\n a waterway; a roadway that extends over or through the waterway; a gauge unit positioned in or proximate to said waterway, said gauge unit having a float sensor in a housing adapted to measure a water level as water enters or exits the housing, a rail in the gauge unit wherein the float sensor can be adjustable in height along the rail, and a signal transmitter from the gauge unit in response to a predefined water level being reached; a control unit configured to receive the signal transmitted by the signal transmitter, said control unit configured to determine whether a current condition of said waterway is safe, requires caution, or is flooded based upon the received signal as transmitted by the signal transmitter from the gauge unit; and a warning light positioned remotely from the gauge unit in a location adjacent to said roadway and ahead of said waterway, wherein said warning light includes three lights that represent different stages of water levels in the waterway, said warning lights being selectively illuminated in response to the measurement of a current water level by said gauge unit relative to a flooding of said roadway.
