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.
Categories use today's flood stages. Levees, dams and channel changes since a crest can make old and new stages not directly comparable.
22 crests measured on an earlier gauge datum are left out: 24.82 ft on Jul 26, 1979; 23.92 ft on Jun 5, 1981; 16.62 ft on Feb 24, 1985; 18.91 ft on Feb 4, 1986; 24.55 ft on Jun 12, 1987; 24.95 ft on May 19, 1989; and more.
