I dont know, its not like hurricanes happen never. They get hit every year down there.

These were much more destructive than normal, though.

They live there knowing that is a risk. It has always been a risk. Just like people in the west live in a desert. People in the north live in the snow. People in the south live near the water.

Not the mountains of North Carolina. That is why the death toll is so bad there was no evacuation order and only some lucky people received warnings at all. Most people where stuck by the time it got bad with roads washing out completely.

I realize it isnt normal for them, but they just watched it come. Its not like the storm hit them out of nowhere.

Yes, they have been hit by hurricanes but nowhere near the damage that occurred ever did. If it was so bad and everyone knew it the government would have ordered evacuations but no one thought it would be that bad that far inland. So no one left I mean you in the mountains the government is saying it will be fine why would you leave?

Maybe because the government isnt right? Its just common sense. If you worried any bit, you should have moved up a bit. Instead, they watched everything wash out in front of them. People need to nut up.

Dude have you ever been to those parts? They don't exactly have a clear way out the roads wind around and up and over mountains. The area that was devastated was on the west side of the state not a part that gets hurricane-force winds because of how inland it is. It crossed Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina before getting to North Carolina. This was roughly 450 miles inland.

This also wasn't the government being wrong this was scientific models being broken in front of our eyes. Historical events took place something no one could have accounted for. Flooding started in North Carolina roughly an hour after landfall when the Hurricane itself wasn't even close to the state. By the time the outer bands got there, people were already stuck from landslides.

I mean they had a tornado on a freakin mountain. People would have left if they had known but the forecast didn't show this.

Yes, I have been to those parts. This was the government being wrong, and people believing they are infallible. As the sky got dark, they just sat thinking they were safe.

Sure, but realized unemployment effects will be driven by realized hurricane severity.

RIP to Trop Roof... I wonder if they end up not replacing it and going open aired for the season and just speed up building the new stadium they are supposed to move into by 2028.
