And yet you have the east coast(north east in my example) which is extremely lush and has 0 water issues and most companies are building these large sites in western water poor areas, intel - arizona phab, tesla - nevada gigafactory, facebook, datacenter southern new mexico.

The east coast gets hit by several hurricanes each year, some of which result in disasters and states of emergency being declared and cause billions of dollars worth of damage.

North east isn't that bad, that's mostly the south east.

There are at least a few devastating storms in the Northeast each decade. Even the ones that aren't completely devastating can impact sensitive production equipment.
