Either side of the coin, it's still pretty wild to watch it happen. We live on a point in Baltimore harbor and had the perfect storm of both water being pushed up the harbor, big tides and sheets of rain. By the time the tide came in the second time, we started seeing water pushing up through the sump pumps in our basements. The pressure from the water table underneath our home was so great that water was pushing it's way through the floors. This was the first time we've ever seen this happen down here, this is an area with significant history. I would not be surprised if this became common place in the future.

The entire Inner Harbor is within a floodplain, with the southernmost areas being within the 100yr FP. What you are describing is not unheard of, but simply not common.

Don’t buy or build in a floodplain?

Sounds like you should move before it's too late.

That doesn't make the problem go away it just pushes it onto some other unsuspecting person

Not everything is forever and perfect and many people are happy living within this reality.

Unsuspecting? That’s the entire point of a buyer’s agent.
