  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. 10 crests measured on an earlier gauge datum are left out: 3.00 ft on Apr 19, 1946; 3.52 ft on May 11, 1947; 3.49 ft on May 18, 1948; 3.02 ft on May 19, 1949; 5.37 ft on Apr 28, 1962; 5.97 ft on Feb 1, 1963; and more.
