@tY921 A one-hundred-year flood is calculated to be the level of flood water expected to be equaled or exceeded every 100 years on average. The 100-year flood is more accurately referred to as the 1% annual exceedance probability flood, since it is a flood that has a 1% chance of being equaled or exceeded in any single year.

This was a very rare moment indeed. I'm glad I got to saw it. It's scary though. I live along the river. I was babysitting that night, too. So when the Police came to get everyone, it was scary. But good thing everything is better.

My dad works at new page there and he said the basement was flooded, and behind the stone castle the water was level with that loading dock back there, and he said the currant was so strong in there that he couldn't barely walk north.

At the spot where the pictures are taken at about 1:49 or so, my grandfather managed a store from about 1912-1918. I can see why it used to be called GRAND rapids. The old pictures of the town being damaged by flooding make more sense with this video.
