  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. 5 crests measured on an earlier gauge datum are left out: 9.55 ft on May 19, 1996; 9.97 ft on Jun 4, 1997; 8.47 ft on Jun 2, 1998; 8.77 ft on Jun 23, 1999; 9.69 ft on May 29, 2000.
