'100-Year' & '500-Year' Floods in 2009, 2015, 2016 & now 2017.

The decades just before and after that have seen repeated "100-year" and "500-year" floods, with the most recent in 2009, 2015, and 2016. But with money to be made, development has proceeded with little restraint, in defiance of scientists' warnings of increasing exposure to future floods and residents' repeated experiences of past and present ones. Wetlands have been paved over and neighborhoods have sprawled into floodplains, with little accommodation for floods on the scale these recent events have reached.
