Contrary to the above answer, statistics do not work that way. A 100-year flood has a 1% chance of occurring in any given year. That does not mean that there is a 100% chance in a century, just as tossing a coin twice does not guarantee that you will get heads. The probability of a 100 year flood can be found with the following formula: P=1- (0.99)^n P is the probability expressed as a decimal. Multiply this by 100 to get a percentage. n is the number of years. In this case the chance of a 100 year flood occurring in any 100 year period is about .63 or 63%.
The flood plain of a river is an area very near the river which floods regularly, generally every 1 to 2 years. The 100-year flood plain is a larger area which has a 1 in 100 chance of flooding in any given year. Over the long term this would average out to a flood every century.
