  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. 20 crests measured on an earlier gauge datum are left out: 18.30 ft on Mar 28, 1913; 16.49 ft on Apr 2, 1916; 16.90 ft on Sep 20, 1924; 17.60 ft on Mar 17, 1929; 16.95 ft on Jul 9, 1935; 20.14 ft on Mar 18, 1936; and more.
