  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: 3.22 ft on Jun 14, 1955; 3.85 ft on Jun 2, 1956; 4.42 ft on May 29, 1958; 4.02 ft on Jun 6, 1959; 4.96 ft on Jun 3, 1960; 3.56 ft on May 29, 1961; and more.
