The news stated it was a 500 year flood. The first dam to collapse was known to have inadequate spillways in 1999 which had never been addressed, The Feds finally cancelled their certification a couple of years ago due to inability to get compliance.

The news stated it was a 500 year flood. Wonder who measured 500 years ago. In 1492 Columbus sailed the ocean blue. That’s not how 100, 500, etc year events work. It’s a percentage chance of it happening in any given year. A 100 year flood has a 1 in 100 chance of happening in any one year, with an average of once every 100 years. The article said the last 500 year flood was in 1986 for that area. https://www.usgs.gov/special-topic/...nter_objects=0#qt-science_center_objects

Tittabawassee river runs right through my hometown. I was there for the one in 1986 and our house was about a half mile from the river as the crow flies. No dams failed during that one. This one peaked a few feet higher. lots of friends that had places on Wixom and Sanford lake that flooded. Sad deal.

The first dam to collapse was known to have inadequate spillways in 1999 which had never been addressed, The Feds finally cancelled their certification a couple of years ago due to inability to get compliance. So the feds pulled their certification and the state was just said "meh, we will let it ride"?
