Non-coastal cities would be obliterated due to design year events being around 25-year.....I'd surmise Seattle would do better than the average bear simply due to dealing with consistent rain fall. You could put Miami in that conversation as well or even higher.

My first thought was Miami or Tampa

Their rainfall is more like a constant mist and they still don't receive the highest rainfall totals in the USA. Not even in the top 10.

Seattle gets less rain than Houston in a year. They are below the annual average for the US.
