Flood of April 1913 reached 47.9 foot flood stage.

At Henderson, Ky., where the rate of rise and fall was again very similar to that experienced at Evansville (the greatest 24-hour rise, 6.5 feet, being the same and occurring on the same date as that at Evansville), the rise started on March 25 from a stage of 24 feet; river reached and passed the flood stage, 33 feet, shortly before daybreak of March 27; river came to a stand during the afternoon of April 5, with a crest stage of 47.9 feet. The crest at Henderson was, it is believed, materially raised by backwater from the Wabash. River remained stationary at Henderson with a stage of 47.9 feet until sometime during the night of April 5 and 6, when it began to fall slowly; river fell below the flood stage, 33 feet, at 11.30 a. m., April 16.
