    Y'all misunderstand the term 100 year flood. It doesn't mean that the flood will only happen every 100 years just that in a given year, that it will have a 1 in 100 chance of happening. That being said, clearly the data that Houston's level of rainfall for the 100 year flood is based on is inaccurate and outdated. With increased levels of rainfall likely due to changing climate patterns and an ever growing area of Houston that is being developed, this is probably just going to get worse.

    Or maybe it's an exaggeration and not actually factual.
