  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: 7.63 ft on Feb 12, 1962; 8.39 ft on May 15, 1984; 7.48 ft on Apr 17, 2006; 7.71 ft on Mar 23, 2017.
