  1. 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.
  2. Categories use today's flood stages. Levees, dams and channel changes since a crest can make old and new stages not directly comparable.
  3. 31 crests measured on an earlier gauge datum are left out: 23.40 ft on Dec 24, 1955; 21.10 ft on Feb 27, 1958; 17.10 ft on Feb 20, 1959; 16.68 ft on Feb 20, 1962; 24.69 ft on Dec 25, 1964; 20.59 ft on Feb 1, 1967; and more.
