Be wary of reading too much into labels like '100 year flood', '500 year flood'. While hydrologists have a well define method of calculating these numbers, our intuitions can be misleading.

While unlikely, it is possible to have two 100 or even 500 year floods within years or months of each other.
I really fail to understand the importance of what you say or quote regarding 100 or 500 year floods. The reason I posted what I did was to inform and not to have someone cast doubts regarding what I posted.
I had met Lauren on a previous occasion and knew that he and his wife had resided in Estes Park in the past and that they do in fact return to visit the area.
Sorry if this offends you but it seems that some posters sit behind their computers and wait for a posting that they might be able to partially "shoot down" or cause questioning.
Don't forget to have a good day and just enjoy viewing the many posting that might interest you. They are free and are just the OP's opinion.
