A USGS gauge (with drainage area of 195 square miles) has been in place since August, 2021. For water year 2023, it lists a maximum flow of 3040 cfs. Flow exceded 382.6 cfs 10% of the time (I.E., about 35 days of the year), and exceeded 49.8 cfs 90% of the time, giving a '10/90 Ratio' of 7.68. ('10/90' is a measure of 'flashiness': low numbers (2 or 3) represent very steady (not flashy) flows, high numbers (10 or above) represent flashy flows.)
