* Estimates of maximum damage can be misleading. For example, in Idaho the maximum was caused by failure of
the Teton Dam in 1976; the worst damage directly from precipitation and streamflow is estimated at $120 million.
In Texas, the maximum appears small but much greater damage occurred in a year not covered by this table ($3.76
billion in 1979).
