Department of WTF!?

There have recently been severe storms and occasional flash floods in Poland, which scared the life out of the inhabitants of affected towns, because the terrible flood wave that swept through the country back in May this year is fresh in everyone's memory. People are especially scared that the levees will start overflowing again, just like they did four months ago.

Fear no more though; the probability of that happening again is very low. How low? Well, the director of a nationwide natural disaster warning agency held a press conference about the state of the levees in one of the flooded towns and said that "The probability that they will overflow is nearly zero, meaning it's less than thirty percent."

I'm not making this up. I rewound three times to make sure I've heard it correctly.
