I don't think these "100 year" events mean anything when it comes to future planning. The world now is quite different than it was 100 years ago - so all bets are off. Climate is different and so is the state of development, watershed areas, ground flow, etc. That's why so many things get built and then get washed away.

Best rule of thumb is this - if you are in a 100 year area -the event can happen in 99 years or it can happen right now.

How do you plan ahead enough so you don't have to keep digging them up for upgrades and repairs? It would be a worse mess then we have now. Then you've got the added issue of less carrying capacity for buried cables as compared to those in open air.
