  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. 15 crests measured on an earlier gauge datum are left out: 9.63 ft on Apr 13, 2000; 8.32 ft on May 15, 2001; 11.45 ft on Apr 15, 2002; 11.10 ft on May 31, 2003; 12.09 ft on May 20, 2006; 8.50 ft on May 3, 2007; and more.
