My MIL’s ranch has been in the family for about 120 years. There were times when they almost lost it and in the ‘30s were picking prickly pear and burning off the thorns to feed to the cattle.
For many years they dairy steers that you could almost get for free on goats. They also had attractions for dudes, like rattlesnakes, yuk.
It just doesn’t really flood here, flash floods, yes but not overall floods.
Most droughts in Texas are followed by flash floods, usually when a hurricane hits the coast but sometimes just because it starts raining again and doesn't stop.
