Mississippi 1993 flood flag

At https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:1993-flood1.jpg we can see a commemorative flag hoisted on a ground on the Jones-Confluence Point State Park, on the confluence of the Mississippi and the Missouri. It’s a white flag with three blue waves above centered red lettering set in bold serifless capitals reading "record flood 1993" over "438.2 feet" over "top of pole". The waves are stylized as typographic tie marks (like upturned round brackets), set in three centered lines with eight over nine over eight wave dips (and correspondently 9+10+9 peaks); the photo shows the flags unreadable reverse.
