- These are the crests the local National Weather Service office lists for the gauge: the highest on record and recent crests. Lesser floods between them may be missing, so counts by decade are a floor.
- Categories use today's flood stages. Levees, dams and channel changes since a crest can make old and new stages not directly comparable.
- 28 crests measured on an earlier gauge datum are left out: 18.36 ft on Jan 12, 1993; 29.48 ft on Mar 28, 1994; 18.63 ft on Feb 17, 1995; 20.72 ft on Jan 27, 1996; 22.58 ft on May 4, 1997; 24.22 ft on Jan 8, 1998; and more.
