  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. 12 crests measured on an earlier gauge datum are left out: 9.95 ft on Jun 16, 1918; 3.35 ft on May 22, 1954; 1.85 ft on Jun 17, 1955; 5.75 ft on Jun 2, 1956; 4.65 ft on Jun 8, 1957; 3.95 ft on May 24, 1958; and more.
