We had that around 2011 (just within a few mile radius of our home), and then again in 2012 (covered 100 mile radius and flooded several cities and a hospital).
They said it was a "hundred-year flood"
Now they are warning of a "thousand-year flood" - of course maybe just media hype, but for those in the Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, and Illinois area, it might be something to watch out for.
We have had a couple inches over the last few days from two different systems. I started a 30 day medical leave on Tuesday and won't have to deal with all the flooded basements.
The leave is mainly due to some nasty side effects from a new medication that should fade away in about 30 days. I'm also looking for a new ins. co. to work for. Corporate takes great care of it's people but mid and lower management is are some of the worst I have ever come across. The job I left, I had the best manager I've ever had and told him that. This little Napoleon I work for now is just part of a chain of rotten people.
Sorry for the rant, but the weather patterns for the last couple of years is ALMOST making me wish I was still a contractor. Almost.

Buddy of mine bought a colonial era house, it's supposedly in the 50 year flood plane. The first year he was there he was flooded 2 or 3 times!
My rule of thumb is to follow the groundhog, you won't see them dig a burrow in a flood plane.
