Jeff Masters said it well:
"If it seems like getting two 1-in-100 to 1-in-500 year floods in eleven years is a bit suspicious--well, it is. Those recurrence intervals are based on weather statistics from Earth's former climate. We are now in a new climate regime with more heat and moisture in the atmosphere, combined with altered jet stream patterns, which makes major flooding disasters more likely"

If you flip a quarter 10 times and get all heads; what are the odds?
Odds are the quarter is no longer fair. What used to be 100 year floods are now 10 year floods.
We are in a new climate regime, the evidence is very strong now.
