Some people think that hurricanes didn't exist before Global Warming...they should have been around for Billion Dollar Betsy(9th Ward flooded then, too). https://www.forbes.com/sites/stevensalzberg/2017/09/05/houston-weve-got-a-problem-its-called-global-warming/#29e060661380 |

In the first four years I was in my current home, 1993-1997, we had eight 50 year rains, two 100 year rains and one 500 year rain. Lies, damn lies and statistics. |

The Confederate soldier was peculiar in that he was ever ready to fight, but never ready to submit to the routine duty and discipline of the camp or the march. The soldiers were determined to be soldiers after their own notions, and do their duty, for the love of it, as they thought best. Carlton McCarthy | |

ZOOOOOM!

The problem isn't that the "stats lied," it's that those terms are pretty big misnomers, and people don't know what they mean. Say you flipped a coin and called the result a "50-percent heads event." If you get tails five times, you're not going to freak out and call the "50-percent" number completely bunk, "fake science," etc., because you understand that getting tails five times is kind of a fluke, but not at all out of the realm of possibility. It wouldn't blow your mind to get that result, either. Same with storm events. "A 100-year storm event" means that in terms of probability, a storm like that comes around once every 100 years or so. But just like the coin, it's not all that mind-blowing to get a couple of those in the course of a decade. |
