Yeah, it's a 1 in a 1000 chance based on 100 years of data. :)
So, assuming a "chance" sample is equal to one year then....
Apparently, the actual odds are closer 1 in a 100...maybe 1 in 200 and possibly 1 in 300 if the data goes back far enough.
Gotta love statistics...especially made up ones. :) Say whatever catches viewers eyes & ears to sell more papers and get more viewers.
Best wishes to those who have to deal with the mess. Hope things dry out quickly.
