  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. 33 crests measured on an earlier gauge datum are left out: 7.90 ft on Jun 29, 1924; 9.90 ft on Feb 26, 1929; 9.51 ft on Aug 7, 1935; 9.23 ft on Jan 25, 1937; 8.10 ft on Mar 12, 1939; 9.19 ft on Mar 4, 1940; and more.
