  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: 19.70 ft on Aug 1, 1915; 10.00 ft on Mar 31, 1922; 10.60 ft on Mar 16, 1923; 3.90 ft on Aug 10, 1924; 7.20 ft on Jun 13, 1925; 5.10 ft on Nov 8, 1925; and more.
