  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. 4 crests measured on an earlier gauge datum are left out: 12.10 ft on Feb 12, 1904; 19.00 ft on Feb 17, 1905; 11.00 ft on Jun 20, 1906; 11.00 ft on Jul 5, 1907.
