Ask the journo what is a “500 year flood” and does man’s activity provoke them every 500 years?

Heh. 6 years ago we experienced what was classified as a 500 year event of high water runoff through our river valley.

Everybody thought that was really something.

The next year we experienced what was classified as a 1,000 year high water runoff.

No homes were flooded in either case.

“Ask the journo what is a “500 year flood” and does man’s activity provoke them every 500 years?”

Where are the records that show it flooded only once 500 years ago and 500 years before that.

“500 year flood”

I believe the 1976 Memorial Day flood in Tulsa OK was a 500 year flood. We got caught in it.

Eight years later it hit again. Memorial day, 1984.
