  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. 17 crests measured on an earlier gauge datum are left out: 7.26 ft on Jul 22, 1947; 7.02 ft on Jun 5, 1948; 6.66 ft on Jun 21, 1949; 7.84 ft on Jun 19, 1950; 8.11 ft on May 31, 1951; 7.43 ft on Jun 10, 1952; and more.
