The area I live in has flooded 3 times since it was first inhabited in in the 1780s.
1915, 2004, and Helene.
Helene had about as much water as those previous two times combined.
Not every town is gonna flood every year. But there are major floods across Appalachia every year because of the geography. It’s always been a high flood rosk area, which was a major reason for the TVA back in the 30’s. Electrify the area and control flooding. I’m not arguing against climate change. I’m just saying that “flooding in the mountains” isnt some Noah’s arc type shit.
