Underground tanks that are installed in a "floodplain" areas are required to be secured with Deadman anchors and cables to prevent that.
Even here in the desert that is a issue and comes up (no pun) regarding areas subject to 50year and 100 year rain/floods. Which we have had both of these occur in the past 40 years.
