Flood defenses enshrined in The Grimsby Haven Act of 1796.

Grey Swan
'''An event that can be anticipated to a certain degree, but is considered unlikely to occur and may have a sizable impact on the valuation of a security or the health of the overall market if it does occur. A grey swan event is unlike a black swan event whose total impact is difficult to predict.'''

Non-Black Swan events
Black Swans satisfy three conditions, according to Taleb’s preface:


 * The event is an outlier—it is outside the realm of regular expectations, and nothing of the past can point to its possibility.
 * It carries an extreme impact.
 * Human nature causes us to rationalize it in hindsight, making it seem as if it was predictable.
