The National Weather Service has a lot of useful flood information based on stream gages across the country here. https://water.weather.gov/ahps/. They have real-time data and forecast on stream gage height and flood stage. This information is limited by gage location, but there are over 10,000 gages across the country. You can select any site to get a detailed graph and historical information. Precipitation amount is also available from the same stations that measure temperature or radar estimates. https://water.weather.gov/precip/
There are a lot of different ways to view FEMA’s flood zone designations. https://msc.fema.gov/portal/home. States and municipalities may have their own map versions. This provides more detail than a calculation of the area of a county of state covered by a flood zone.
The Coastal Emergency Risks Assessment site only covers the coasts and small sections of rivers near coasts.
Streamflow and discharge are useful but difficult to conceptualize. I don’t understand the water equivalent row.

Excellent! I'll add these to the next round of the floods table. v2 does not reflect these updates.
