100 mnm special

The 100 year recurrence interval and its meaning in "truth" is illustrated with M&M candies. The 100-year event is actually about a 1% chance event occurring in a year. That event is defined as X amount or larger. If you are talking about wind speeds, for instance, then the 100-year event might be 93 mph. Any wind speed equal or larger to that is part of the 100-year event. Other events included in the video are the 10 and 50 year events.
