Using flooding as an excuse?

Is anyone else old enough to remember those Wild West movies where the mailman had to overcome daunting odds to deliver the mail?

There were dramatic scenes as the mailman spurred his pony over mountains, through deserts, battling Indians, outlaws, floods, fires and the occasional grizzly bear or mountain lion to fulfil his pledge as a US mailman.
I am only reminded of these childhood scenes because, for the last two months, I haven’t received any of my credit-card or bank statements. I’m told the flooding is to blame.
