Worst flooding in centuries? The link referenced by the author is actually titled singular century, not plural centuries.

The 1927 flood in Vermont was the worst natural disaster in the state’s history. How many centuries ago was 1927?

The torrential rains began on November 3, 1927.
It had already been a wet October and rivers were swollen and the ground saturated. Nine inches of rain fell in a thirty-six hour period and horrendous flooding began. Though all of New England was affected, Vermont was devastated. The state flooded from Newport to Bennington, with the Winooski River Valley the hardest hit. Eighty-five people died and 9,000 were left homeless. Many of Vermont’s roads and over 1,200 bridges were washed away.
