  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. 27 crests measured on an earlier gauge datum are left out: 13.22 ft on Jun 16, 1957; 10.92 ft on May 14, 1962; 8.68 ft on May 24, 1964; 9.50 ft on Jun 11, 1965; 7.75 ft on May 16, 1966; 8.80 ft on May 28, 1967; and more.
