A 1 in 100 year flood actually happens quite a bit more than every 100 years. The stat is extremely misleading. In my area, there are a few subdivisions in the so-called 100 year flood areas and I've personally seen them flood three times in the past 14 years.

It's not misleading as much as it's misunderstood.

It means a 1% chance every year.
