  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. 52 crests measured on an earlier gauge datum are left out: 41.08 ft on Aug 14, 1940; 18.43 ft on Jun 25, 1941; 29.64 ft on Mar 22, 1942; 30.90 ft on Jan 19, 1943; 35.88 ft on Mar 21, 1944; 25.27 ft on Dec 26, 1945; and more.
