The White River crested at Anderson in March 1913 at a record 22.1 feet on the gauge then in use, and floodwaters broke through the Anderson levees on March 25, causing heavy property damage.

NOAA's gauge page for the White River at Anderson, at the Raible Avenue gauge, lists major flooding at 18 feet. Flood stage is a threshold on the gauge, not a measure of damage, and gauge zero points differ between sites and years, so a historical figure must be checked before it is compared with a current reading.

Keep the originals. Your insurer and your policy decide what is covered, so ask the insurer what it needs in writing.
