In the online and printed version of this article a few lines of text and a figure are incorrect. The corrected text and figure are given below.


Page 1, Abstract: Instead of “ranged 14 orders of magnitude.” it should read “ranged 12 orders of magnitude.”


Page 7, bottom right: Instead of “was 5.66 Tjoules.” It should read “was 5.66 Mjoules.”


Page 11, right column line 8 under Energy level: Instead of “1 m waves” it should read “a 50-yr rainfall event.”


Page 11, right column line 16 under Energy level: Instead of “was 14 orders of magnitude.” it should read “was 12 orders of magnitude.”


Page 12, substitute Fig. 10 with the corrected Fig. 10 below.
