Unscrupulous developers buy land in flood plains here, level the site, grade in some streets without drainage systems and build houses in the flood plains when it is dry. Anyone who looks at a topographical map should see that the houses are in a flood plain, but they don't check and buy the houses anyway.
It doesn't happen often, but when a gully washer hits, those houses all flood. That's when they discover that the original developer is no where to be found, so they go on TV and cry because their houses flooded.
It's definitely a "Let the buyer beware" situation. But then, "DUMB" is our largest surplus.
