They need to just stop with this 1000 year event stuff. It is not a once in 1000 year event. It's a 1 in 1000 annual event probability. 1/10 of a percent annual probability. They got it almost right but had to add "year".

Retired Corps of Engineers guys' pet peeve.

So they're safe for another 1000 years, that's nice.
 
You did not have a steady 30mph wind?
I take a pretty circuitous route to avoid any particular winds but it wasn't bad today! Worse yesterday....during the emergency burn ban when the military fort up north did a controlled burn?!?!??! Ended as expected...

Like them touting the 1993 Iowa floods as a 1-in-500 year event.......only for it to happen again in 2008?
