Yes, 5 over 30 years. Both gov'ts and companies don't plan for the 30 year or 100 year storm 5 over 30 years wouldn't be a 30 year storm, let alone a hundred, it would be more like a 6 year storm. If it happens about once every six years they probably should be prepared for it.

Ted, > But you proved my point.......its the second biggest [by 2 inches]snowstorm since the 1980s. Actually, it's the fourth biggest. February 2010, February 2006, and January 1996 were all bigger. If you want to be so hung up on the facts, you really ought to get them right in the first place. > Both gov'ts and companies don't plan for the 30 year or 100 year storm.....they plan for the typical storm because that is far more cost effective. So you're willing to defend the NYC government for not planning for the worst-case scenario (despite it NOT being the worst-case scenario), but you're willing to skewer Bush and Michael Brown for doing the exact same thing during Hurricane Katrina? The truth is that government has to plan for the worst-case scenario. You're still making s--t up. Tenchusatsu
