- How accurate are estimates of the Average Recurrence Interval?
- How do we know or measure if a flood that could happen tomorrow is worse than one that happened 2, 10 or 50 years ago?
- -f heavy rain is being forecasted does that mean that rivers are going to rise and spill over their banks and flood your neighborhood?
