As far as I can tell weather like this happens once in a while even without climate change, something like once in ~25 years or so (just guessing the number).
Given the serve effects it can have infrastructure should always be build to still be operational.
But if you are a company and there are no regulations you might be very tempted to ignore something which normally happens "just" around 4 times in hundred years. (Again guessed values could be a bit more or a bit less, with climate change likely more then just a bit more in the future).
