Best Answer

A 100-year flood is a flood of a given size for a particular area that has a 1% chance of happening in any given year. On average such an event will happen once per century. Remember, though, that this is merely an average; it is entirely possible for two 100-year floods to happen within a year of each other or for none to happen for thousands of years.
