In terms of water flow or frequency sure, but the 1910 Paris flooding had water nearly 9 meters above normal levels. In 2016 and 2018 it was above 6m. I would think this makes it unsuitable for the question. Anyway that was more of a side comment, I think your answer is great and your information source very appropriate. | |

| Nov 13, 2018 at 10:37 | comment | added | Autar | The Seine river in France is probably not a good example: it is known to have rare but somewhat regular large floods: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seine#Flooding "A 2002 report by the French government stated the worst-case Seine flood scenario would cost 10 billion euros and cut telephone service for a million Parisians, leaving 200,000 without electricity and 100,000 without gas" | |
