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 1):
A flood warning system comprising:\n a gauge unit positioned in a waterway, said gauge unit comprising at least one sensor in a housing, the sensor adapted to measure a water level at as water enters or exits said housing, and a signal transmitter from the gauge unit that is adapted to transmit a signal in response to a pre-defined water level within the housing; a control unit cooperative with a signal transmitter so as to receive the signal transmitted from the signal transmitter, said control unit determining whether a current condition of a waterway is safe, requires caution, or is flooded based upon the received signal transmitted from the signal transmitter and from the gauge unit; and a warning signal positioned remotely from the gauge unit and adapted to be placed along a path adjacent a roadway ahead of the waterway, the warning system creating a warning signal in response to the measurement by the gauge unit of the water level at a level which would flood the roadway.
