  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. 14 crests measured on an earlier gauge datum are left out: 5.67 ft on Sep 8, 1953; 5.55 ft on Aug 31, 1954; 5.58 ft on Sep 14, 1955; 5.60 ft on Sep 8, 1956; 7.56 ft on Jul 1, 1957; 5.96 ft on Jun 22, 1962; and more.
