Well, if you listened to the press conference in Kerrville, Texas today you will understand that this flood was unprecedented, a once in 500 or 1000 years. They had floods before but not like this. President Trump also relayed that he has been to many emergency sites and he’s not ever seen one like this. Report of the water rising 1 foot per minute.
There is always room for the once in 5,000 years flood. We got hit with a volcanic eruption in 1980. The previous eruptive period was over 500 years ago. Very few things in nature are "unprecedented." "Not in human memory" means little in geologic or climate time. Nature is very capable of events totally beyond any human agency.

POTUS had his own figure. I think they are thinking this was worse. https://x.com/ilegvm/status/1943744879210758630?s=61
