Pardon my ignorance, but does this mean if you didn't flood during this 1,000 year event, that means you'll likely never ever flood.

No. Flooding can happen all sorts of ways in Louisiana unfortunately. However, if a home didn't sniff water during this flood (by several hundred feet) and is on a high elevation (and off the ground on top of that), that home would probably be safe.

Yeah, somehow I'm not buying that we'll go another thousand years without a flood like this

No. The rainfall distribution is never the same across 2 storms over a given watershed. Depending on where you are in the parish or area, you either got 1,000yr, 500yr, or >200yr rainfall totals. It could be distributed completely differently next time (and likely will be).
