America; where houses are literally built everywhere regardless of where is more susceptible for flooding and tornados and where is not.

Levees right on the river bank make the problem worse, build them a mile away from the river to protect farmland, but not in excess, build houses and buildings in flood plains on stilts or something to elevate it

Mother Nature's wrath Not the best comment but you live in an eluvial flood plain what do you expect. I'm not helping you fix it. Perhaps a gov buy out 25 cents on the dollar and you move to a mountain house.
