Fire? Enough resources will put it out. Earthquake? Enough resources will shift the rubble. Hurricane? You can take shelter, and clean up afterwards.
But water? You just have to wait it out, until it recedes.
And this is Texas, not Louisiana.
There'll be no scenes like Katrina here.

Good point! But, like snow in the UK, only worth doing if the risk is great.
