We all do. We had several 100-year storms in May of 2006.

The lakes were as high then as I've ever seen them. If Merrymeeting had gone another foot or less higher, the dam would have overflowed and dumped into Alton. Granted, I suppose that could happen. But I can't imagine a year with much more rain than we had that year, certainly not for insurance table planning purposes!
