The peak reported in March 2019 is 40.62 feet - larger than anything on the previous record, so if it is verified it is going to move up and be ranked #1. Calculate the RI for the 2019 largest magnitude flood, and also for the 36.7 foot flow that used to be ranked #1. Here, your answer for RI will have 2 significant figures if it is a whole number (eg. 27), or 3 if it includes a decimal (eg. 19.4). Also calculate the new P (probability) for both of these events (use the format of O.XXX, meaning 3 decimal places after the decimal point). Again, show your work as described above. Hint - remember that the number of years in the record is now one greater. 40.62 foot flood RI = 40.62 foot flood P = 36.7 foot flood RI = 36.7 foot flood P =
