As we learned with Katrina, and various other flash flooding, water falling is extremely destructive. You would be wise to purchase or live in a place that isn't downstream from a massive levy... but on the other hand the chance of say the hoover dam falling on any given Sunday is pretty miniscule. That and the fact that it starts out slowly, and usually is triggered by something and Dam failure can be prevented totally with proper maintenance and management. It's not a bad line of work... maybe you would be good at it.
Dams scare the hell out of me
