  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. 11 crests measured on an earlier gauge datum are left out: 11.07 ft on Mar 5, 1884; 11.48 ft on Mar 30, 1965; 11.02 ft on Apr 25, 1966; 11.66 ft on Jul 23, 1968; 11.47 ft on Jan 24, 1974; 11.23 ft on Jun 2, 1979; and more.
