Some still contest that the last time this happened was before anybody knew about climate change, 1000 years ago, therefore climate change can’t be real! It makes more sense to say that on any day, there’s a 0.1% chance of such destruction. Events like this are now getting upgrades from 1000year to 100year etc, as they become more frequent. Pity that it’s costs so much money for disaster recovery, which should have been spent on mitigating against risk of climate change, by reducing emissions.
