I'm with you on this one. Around here, we had a development a few years ago that suffered numerous delays because every time there was rain the site flooded and work had to stop. 
Mind, the elements aren't confined to precipitation. Our 120-year-old former quarryman's cottage is near the top of a valley. The visible horizon is nearly 10 miles away, so we're exposed. Flooding is something we are not exposed to. Early in 2005 there was a storm with 100+ mph winds, which took the roof - and those of both our immediate neighbours - clean off. If you'll pardon the pun, every cloud has a silver lining......... During the rebuild I had the attic, which was previously a complete waste of space due to the vast quantity of trusses, opened-up and now I can use the space for my slot car track (and household storage).
