I dunno, maybe so.
I tend to regard it as one of the things that it's really an idea to check. Not as in, "is this historically a flood risk" but more "is there a source of water within a mile that offers the tiniest chance of rendering my house a bit moist? This I can easily check by a) fucking looking and b) more pertinently, asking the vendors of paranoia and doom that are household insurers"

Really, you shoudln't be entirely surprised
if you move to an area because of the pretty river and mountains that it may flood occasionally. Caveat emptor and all that.
