  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. 58 crests measured on an earlier gauge datum are left out: 8.05 ft on Jun 21, 1947; 8.02 ft on May 22, 1948; 7.77 ft on Jun 18, 1949; 7.25 ft on Jun 7, 1950; 8.19 ft on Jun 21, 1951; 9.15 ft on Jun 11, 1952; and more.
