  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. 55 crests measured on an earlier gauge datum are left out: 5.90 ft on Jun 1, 1914; 3.25 ft on Jun 11, 1915; 3.30 ft on Jun 10, 1916; 4.70 ft on Jun 23, 1917; 4.85 ft on Jun 14, 1918; 3.45 ft on May 30, 1919; and more.
