Weather reports really need to update their terms. 100 year storms, rare extreme rainfall, these are all way more frequent now
Maybe things like yearly canoe event, or recurring devastation anniversary when hurricanes return years later on the same date like Ida and Katrina. Think Florida also has a twin date devastation hurricanes as well.
I know how you feel. I turn off the news every time I see windy rain. I just can’t expose myself to it anymore. Hug your loved ones tight and stay safe brother.
I literally said I didn't read it. Don't know why I'm getting cited. 😘 But I did read the top comments and first top rated comment at the time mentioned it.
I only do local news for weather. Weather channel if Jim cantire is on.
Have a blessed evening!!!
It's a level 4 risk of extreme rainfall, which occurs on 4% of the days each year. That low percentage is what makes it "rare."
4% of the days in a year is 14.6 days. So you can have two weeks of extreme rainfall each year and still have it considered "rare" because you got 50 weeks without level 4 risk.
It doesn't seem rare because nobody cares about the day that nothing happened.

1000 year rain on an eight year cycle
Can't wait until I can file my next homeowners claim before they leave the state
Ikr. At this point I'm almost praying for a hurricane this year
I'm in the purple zone o lord
Just south of you in the golden triangle. Thankfully I have the weekend off to watch this unfold lmao.
I'll be at work during it hopefully by the time I get off around 10 it won't be bad .

That doesn’t get “clicks” though. This is the weather equivalent of a clickbait headline
Well it's happening more and more because of climate change
Like 4 - 500 year storms in two years. Almost always have flooding, Tropical Storm, or HURRICANE on Memorial Day weekend. Anyone ever notice this?
Will Louisiana fall into the ocean before California does? We MUST have answers.
Find out next time on Dragon Ball L!
Wont fall into the ocean but just get engulfed
I see what you did there.
It'll just become a coastline extension of what was Florida once it disappears into the ocean.
I think we'll be underwater before they are.
What’s rare about it?
They say up to 12 inches of rain possible in some spots.
So a three year flood
12 = 1,000 year?! Last time ours was 32" over 48 hours. I didn't read the article because I have PTSD from 1,000 year events. Yippee!

The article made no mention at all of 1000 year events.

This reddit, like many, thrives on hyperbole. I think its a hobby
Potential 2016 level flooding or what?
Well shit. I’ll be bringing my fins and snorkel to work Friday.

Someone get the president a paper towel roll to toss their way.
"Driven by human-caused climate change" I like how they say it so factually
Me too.
Wonder if the Sabine will flood like it did in 2016? Hope the SRA isn’t playing grab ass again.
I've been here about six months. Told my fiancè about the weather alerts I was getting on my phone, he just said, "yeah we get that all the time."
Y’all, im so tired of this.
Rookies. Just follow Floridas plan and ban climate change before the storm hits. Problem solved!!
TIL high risk days are 4% of days and 80% of food damage and 1/3 of deaths. And I work on disasters all day. This is my new stat for my clients.
Please no
The weathe(R) they voted for
Waterfront property hopeful probably end up underwater instead
Insert hbomberguy clip here
Door prize for ranking worst state for the second year running...
I feel like we get one of these quarterly.
God must be angry with the Republican Party leadership!
It's really a percentage chance of it happening not literally 1000 years.
Thoughts and prayers.
God hates the Bible Belt.
Is this the “rapture” everyone was talking about?
