Council: 8-14-2007 Ald Fred Juergens Speaks
Ald Fred Juergens urges a focus on recent ten year data to create a solution that meets what appears to be intensifying rain activity
I don't think that's exactly fair because when you purchase property you are paying for a flood study, they don't focus on ten years. In weather that's a nano second of time.
Looking at ten-year averages to see if they are anomalous to longer-term events can be useful. You still need to keep the 100-year and "record" events on the radar screen, though.
Part of the heartache over here has been being told that we've had 4 100-year events in a three year span.
