Chris Martz @ChrisMartzWX - You still don’t understand.
A “1-in-1,000-year flood” is a flood that has a 0.1% chance of happening in any given year at one specific location.
Given there are approximately 19,000 watersheds in the United States, it can be expected that 19 of them will see a “1-in-1,000-year” flood every year, assuming stationarity. Some years, there will be higher numbers, while in others, there will be fewer.
So, yes, there can in fact be several “1-in-1,000-year” floods in the U.S. each year, and it doesn’t tell us anything useful about long-term trends. That statistic does not apply to the entire nation uniformly.
