It might be fun to make fun of my original comment, but don't kid yourselves.
Ive never heard of an earthquake destroying an aircraft. Flooding might cause headache, but it will dry out.
Earthquakes have destroyed many airplanes when the hangars they were in collapsed on top of them. While hangars seem to be generally more resistant to earthquake damage, doing things like hanging an airplane from the ceiling makes them more vulnerable as well.
Additionally, flooding might dry out, but it very well might destroy your planes too in the process, especially if they are fliers. It's extremely expensive to deal with flooding and that's what finally drove LSFM off the island and to Ellington. They lost more from the water than anything else by a long shot. It's what's done the most damage in Houston by far both after Ike and now Harvey so don't discount water in itself as corrosion is especially a silent and sneaky killer of airplanes.
