Actually its quite wet here in Houston, without floods even. ;) We get more rain annually than Seattle. And its humid as all hell. At night in the summers it looks like a light rain just passed, but its the humidity in the air condensating. That wierded me out when I first moved here...

The problem in Houston is the water table is so high, even moderate rainfall causes flooding. Its a regular occurance for some roads to get partially flooded after a rain. I damn near lost everything a year after I moved to Houston, and my apartment got water coming in under the sliding glass door. Its not too bright to build structures with the foundation at ground level here. That point is now a selling point when we shop for a new apartment. :P
